Drupal People Management

Learning Objectives

• People Management and
• Setting up specific task-based roles.

System requirement

• Ubuntu Linux Operating System
• Drupal 8 and
• Firefox Web browser

You can use any web browser as per your choice.

It’s actually very complicated to get right.

We have to do it just once but correctly.

People in Drupal are given roles that have permissions.

But still they are not as high as User No.1.

Lastly, Anonymous Users are visitors who are not logged in.

Not Articles or Pages or User Groups.

Scroll down slowly and see what’s available.

• for every Content type we add,
• for every Module we add and
• for every View we build.

Click Save.

It just helps me to see the roles in a logical order - who has what permissions.

Now we need to give our new role some permissions.

We can see that this page is the overview of everybody’s permissions.

Click on Summer Intern and select Edit permissions.

• Create new events
• Delete only their own events and
• Edit only their own events.

• Delete other people’s content,
• Delete revisions,
• Edit any other events that they’ve not created.

We will give our editors those particular powers.

Now scroll all the way down to the bottom and click Save permissions.

• they can’t edit views,
• they edit books,
• they can’t even post comments without somebody approving it.

The third step is to add a person.

We have set up the roles, added the permissions.

It just has to be in a valid format.

I’ll just say intern@email.com because we’re not going to actually email them.

It is a very insecure password. But it is fine for now, as this is a local machine.

And he should have the Summer Intern role.

We can add a picture if we want to.

Because summer interns don’t need to be contacted.

• Our account is created for Sam and
• No email has been sent.

When we set up new users like this, a very important thing to do, is to test.

But the problem is - what happens if Sam was a real user and he decides to change his password.

We can not just randomly change other people’s password when we need to test their accounts.

We can masquerade as the Summer Intern to find out if we have set their permissions correctly.

Please install it in your machine also.

You may refer to the tutorial “Adding functionalities using Modules” for installing new modules.

For your convenience the Masquerade module is provided in the Code Files link in the webpage of this tutorial.

Please download and install it.

Click on the Edit drop down of the user Sam and select Masquerade as.

This is because the role of the user Sam does not have permissions to use administrator toolbars.

When we click on Add content, the only thing we are able to create is an event.

So far so good.

There are no tabs.

Same thing if we go to the Forums.

We are able to leave a comment. But it won’t be automatically approved.
