Introduction
The Mini-Admin role allows you to manage specific roles for other users, such as grant or revoke VO or team roles. This guide will help you understand how to use the Mini-Admin role to assign permissions to users.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have the Mini-Admin role enabled. Users with this role see an additional "Users" tab in their left panel:
Note that the mini-admin role does not appear under "Profile > Permissions".
To request the Mini-Admin role, please submit a ticket to the group "Second Level › Services › EGI Services and Service Components › Helpdesk (GGUS)". Please specify the roles you would like to manage, e.g. Common, atlas, atlas_team. See more about roles in the Roles and Permissions Guide.
Steps to Grant Roles Using Mini-Admin
1. Access the User’s Roles
- Click on the "Users" section in the dashboard menu.
- Use the search bar to find the user for whom you want to grant permission.
- Next to the user’s name, click on the Roles icon.
2. Assign the Role
- A pop-up window will appear.
- On the right side of the pop-up window, click on the roles you would like to grant to the user.
- Add the role "Common" to give user r/w access to most groups. This is the main role every supporter should have.
- If known, add the "<VO>" role to the user, e.g. alice, atlas, cms, lhcb or others.
- To allow users to create team tickets, add the "<VO>_team" role.
- On the left side of the pop-up window, click on the roles you would like to remove from the user.
- if you assign the "Common" role to the supporter, please remove the "User" or, if available, "GGUS User" from the leftmost list.
3. Submit the Role Assignment
- After selecting the role, press Submit to apply the changes.
