User types
From EFrontWiki
eFront is structured around three main user types: administrator, professor and student. The administrator can create new user types that include or exclude characteristics from these three main user types. A sub-type can be based only on one main user type.
[edit] Creating a new user type
To create a new user type, the administrator must click on the button New user type.
The first step is to select the default user type, which the new user will be based on. For example, if the administrator wants to create an assistant for the professor, the new user type will be based on the "professor" user type.
After selecting the basic user type, a list appears with the user's basic rights inside the platform, which the administrator must define. For example, what the user will be able to change or view only, functions that will be hidden etc. At the end of the list, there is an option that allows the administrator to set the same status for all functions. (change, view or hide).
The new user type is added to the user types list, such that when creating a new user, the administrator can see the new user type in the drop down list.
