Lexicon_permissions
For a user to be able to access a Lexicon, the user needs to be added into a Group that has access to the desired Lexicon.
We use django-guardian to manage object level permissions: https://github.com/django-guardian/django-guardian
It is recommended to create a Group for each Dataset (=Lexicon). To allow a Group to access a Dataset, it is required that the group is listed in the desired Datasets object permissions. All of this can be done in django's admin pages.
1. Create a Group
Go to django-admin and create a group and select a descriptive name for it, for example "Lexicon-Test".
2. Add the created Group to Datasets object permissions list
-
In django-admin select a Dataset and view its information.
-
Then click 'Object permissions' in the upper right corner:
-
Write the Groups name into the field 'Group' and press 'Manage Groups':
-
Select permission 'View dataset' press the right arrow to move it to the rightmost box, then click save.
-
After this, if you return to the Datasets object permission page, you should see the Group added in there:
3. Add all the users that should have access to this Lexicon into the Group created
- Go into the 'Users' page in django-admin, select a user and add the user into this group, and then save:
