MERMIG Users organisation and roles

How it Works

MERMIG Collaboration Platform users are organized according to the following hierarchy:

Workgroup Contact: does not have access to any Workgroup and is not actual user of the system. Workgroup members (see below) can send email or SMS to them (in the context of any Workgroup where the contact information is available).

Workgroup Member: has access to a Workgroup. The Workgroup Member access rights are determined by the assigned User Profile, and may vary from read-only permissions in one service to administrative privileges in another.

Workgroup Coordinator: has access to administrative services of a Workgroup. Basically, the Workgroup Coordinator is responsible for Workgroup customization (title, description, icon, keywords, etc.), adding users to the Workgroup, creating and modifying User Profiles, assigning User Profiles to the Workgroup users, etc.

Community Directory: the community director has administration privileges to the Community Directory. The Community Directory is a centralized user’s directory that contains data of users from all Workgroups inside the Community, accompanied with access rights. The Community Directory Administrator can edit user data for one Community and has read-only access to user data from other Communities.

Community Administrator: has access to administrative services of a Community. Basically, the Community Administrator is responsible for the creation of Workgroups, assigning of services to Workgroups, configuration of external services which represent other Web applications, portal configuration, etc. The Community Administrator has also access to Community Directory Administrator functionalities.

Site Administrator: has access to administrative services of a Site. Basically, the Site Administrator is responsible for the creation of the Communities and for delegating administrative users to them (Site Administrators, Community Administrators, and Community Directory Administrators). The Site Administrator is the highest rank of the MERMIG organization structure, having administrative access to all Communities.
