Hello Andrea,
I'm a bit confused now. What is the point of giving W rights to users when
I cannot see any writing (adding layers, modifying layers, adding stores
etc.) options after logging in?
I don't wish to give admin rights to the new user, hence he/she would be
able to modify his/hers role quite easily. This would be a major security
risk.
I'm pretty sure there is a solution for my problem which is maybe too
obvious for me to see.
Best,
Gergely
