Permissions Tab

The Permissions tab is where Admins assign, change, and remove Aegis roles for Confluence users. Roles determine which parts of the app a user can see and interact with. Role checks are enforced server-side on every resolver call, there is no client-side-only access control.

The tab has two sections:

  1. Capabilities Matrix: A visual table showing exactly what each role (built-in and custom) can do. Admins can add custom role columns and configure them by checking or unchecking individual capabilities.
  2. Assign Roles: The user-search form and current assignments table for assigning built-in or custom roles to specific users.
