Hi Mai, unfortunately, all of the permissions that you see in the admin
interface are only the first step to allowing the permissions you are
after. You are able to attach these permissions to a user (or user group),
but they are not actually integrated into the forms or the front end of the
app itself at all, which is why you are not seeing any changes after
applying them to your new user.
Restricting access to the RDM would not be too hard to do though, here's
one way you could do it:
1. create a new group called "rdm"
2. copy the header.htm from the arches base code (in the virtual
environment templates) to your app's templates.
3. in this new header.htm file, find where, around line 89, you see:
{% if 'edit' in user.user_groups %}
4. Go to the end of that section (which is creating the RESOURCE MANAGER tab if
the user has been assigned to the 'edit' group) and add
{% endif %}
after the <!-- End Resource Editor --> comment
5. Now you can precede the next block (which is creating the RDM tab) with this
new line
{% if 'rdm' in user.user_groups %}
6. You'll see that there is already an "endif" statement after the RDM code, so
you should be all set to go.
If you are successful with this addition, you'll understand one way that you
can use groups as stand-ins for permission settings. Again, the actual
permission settings that you see in the admin console, while extensive, are not
integrated into the front end of the default Arches-HIP app.
Good luck!
