Personal Permissions

The Personal Permissions area allows administrators to assign permissions to specific users.

Introduction

Additionally to the User Permissions area, the personal permissions can be assigned in FlightLogger to give specific users additional permissions on top of the inherited permissions from the User Roles they are a member of.

Assigning permissions to an individual user

In some cases, you may want to grant a specific user permissions beyond what is typically assigned to their role. The new permissions area allows administrators to override default role based settings and add extra permissions to individual users.

For example, if you want to give a specific Instructor permission to approve certificates, then follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the user's individual page and click Settings -> Permissions.

2. From the Personal Permissions page, choose the Certificates section.

3. Set Can approve certificates to for example Other if you don't want to permit the instructor to approve own certificates but all others.

This method is ideal for situations where an Instructor, for instance, needs broader access to manage additional operational areas without being assigned full administrator privileges. This flexibility ensures that users have the right level of access based on their specific responsibilities while maintaining security and oversight.
