Starting version 3.0 In the future System and Custom Roles will be merged to just Roles. New schema is shown at the end of this page.


onePortal™ utilise Trivore Identity Service (TIS) utilises role-based access control. In practise it means what selections you see in the Main Menu, depends on assigned roles at any particular time. There are about 30 different pre-defined roles. Each user account may have several roles. What one can do in onePortal™ TIS is determined by the assigned Roles (and the Permissions tied to those Roles).

onePortal™ TIS has two roles classes: built-in System Roles and flexible Custom Roles. System Roles have two permission levels: Admin and Auditor, which are depicted in the role names. Admin may administrate and manage, Auditor may view.

If that permission is missing (example: list user accounts), the signed in user account is not able to do any task which requires that permission.
