The Permissions Structure

The Permissions structure in ProVision is designed to give you as much flexibility as you need to accommodate most use cases. When mapping out the permissions structure for your organization, keep in mind who you want to access to application:

  • Internal Users and Roles (Admins, Read Only, etc.)
  • Partners related to multiple specific Resources/Accounts
  • Customers/Departments with limited view to only their respective Resources/Accounts

In this diagram, we have created groups for each of those scenarios – we have internal groups, Partner Groups, and Customer groups. Each of these groups has access to different resources, permission levels, and users assigned to them.

The components of the Permissions System include:

Users: A User is a single login account that accesses ProVision. Users are assigned to Groups. 

Groups: A Group is a set of permission conditions that apply to selected Users. Allowed Resources and access levels (C/R/U/D permissions) are set inside the Group. 

Resources & Access: Inside a Group, Resource access may be set to Global (applies to all Resources), or to the Resource level (applies to only the selected Resources). For each Resource selected, access permissions can be set with C/R/U/D permissions under each ProVision functional area (IPAM, DNS, Resource, Peering). 

As a whole, this makes up the ProVision permissions system.  The Permissions system allows you to fine-tune access to resource data to be as detailed as you need.
