It would be a great feature if user roles could be more flexible so that users can have the right amount of access. For example, an account owner should be given the option to allow a user to be a Station Supervisor AND a Table Supervisor at the same time. Currently, only administrators have permis…

Hello everyone! The new “Custom User Roles” feature is finally ready, and it should solve the sorts of problems mentioned in this thread. It is in a closed beta currently, and will be in that state for a few months before more general release. It is only for customers on the “Enterprise” plan or ab…

Hey @ta-aoki - @Viktor is the Product owner for user management and he has been hard at work collecting all the missing features when it comes to user management. We are getting towards the end of the project scoping to start addressing these issues, and from there it will be executed by the engine…

APIs for user management of both the user and the custom fields associated. [~WRD0001.jpg] [image003.png]

Hey @Kirklana - This is something I ran into fairly recently too. There is a number of feature requests around user management through the API. User management needs to be more accessible from other systems, and at more scale. It was the needs of instances managing hundreds or thousands of users th…

@Pete_Hartnett Thank you. OK, I will wait for the flexible user roles to be released. I faced one surprise recently that “Tulip Table Supervisor” and “Application Builder” cannot assign their own Display Device on the player. Is this intended limitation ? Even the “Viewer (with Player Access)” ca…

Also, in order to create Custom Widgets you need to be an account owner. Except when you go to install a widget which I think it allows anyone to install it… But yes! Better role controls please!

Totally right @mellerbeck - One of the big reasons for this project is to allow stuff like custom widgets to be more accessible, while not creating compliance issues. Once a custom widget is installed anyone can use it, it just cannot be edited. Pete

In the short term, as @mellerbeck referenced above I think there’s a separate ask here to even just create a dedicated “custom widget developer” role in the current roles model. At the moment we have to put any custom widget developers on a tulip instance dedicated for that purpose, with a full com…

Hey @aaronbroussard - What other access would this CW developer role have access to? A few options: Table: Create Tables Edit Tables Add fields Add Records Delete records Edit fields App Editor Create Apps Publish Apps Delete Apps Edit Apps Dashboards Create Dashboards Create Analytics Edi…

@mellerbeck this impacts your team the most, I will defer to you :slightly_smiling_face:
