inheritance map

[mcarriedo]

Hi,

I'm scouting the community for a solution of my current issue with groups/roles and I came across inheritance map and inheritance count which was introduced in Geneva. Where can I find that?   Is it on the table sys_user_has_role?   If so, why can't I find them?   is there a plugin that needs to be activated?

We're currently on Istanbul Patch 4.

Thanks.

Hi Maria,

The table used for the inheritance map is the Role (sys_user_role) table. If the parent field is empty, it is a parent role. If it has a value, then it is inherited.

Hi Maria,

The table used for the inheritance map is the Role (sys_user_role) table. If the parent field is empty, it is a parent role. If it has a value, then it is inherited.

For example, itil contains several roles that point to it, including template_editor. Here is how it is represented on the inheritance map.

HI Maria,

Contextual Security: Role Management Enhancements

Contextual Security: Role Management Enhancements is automatically installed on new instances starting with the Geneva release and can be activated for upgrades.

Check if you instance was before Geneva release, if yes you will need to enable plugin.
