Overview

In previous lessons, we learnt how to define Roles at Application level. It’s important to differentiate this new level of management focused on the Project level. Now we are going to map roles to specific usres that are going to be part of the development team.

How can I grant Wayfast Users access to Projects?

Now we are going to grant new users access to a project. Let’s navigate through the Solution and choose the project that we want to manage Wayfast users.

On top menu, click on “Requirements” tab and then click on “Wayfast User” section

Open

All the Wayfast Users are listed in the dashboard. If we click on “Add” button, we can quickly add new ones with their corresponding roles. “Assigning Users” popup will display “Participants” lookup field that retrieve all the users previously managed on “Magic Center” and “Roles” dropdown field to link this user to a specific project role.

Open

These roles are generated by default in Wayfast. Normally we recommend to use “Development” role because it contains all the permissions inside the Project. Click on “Submit” button and the Wayfast User will be added to the Project.

How Wayfast Users grant access to Project Database?

Return to “Requirements” main screen by clicking icon at the top menu. Automatically we can see the “New” button to start a New Requirement.

A popup is displayed and we can choose “Requirement” as option to establish the association.    

This action is very important on Wayfast, any user selected in “Developer” dropdown will have access to the entire Solution. This means access to the Backend (Project database in SQL including Views, Tables and Stored Procedures) and FrontEnd (Controls and Visual Content) to start the application development.

Recap

In the first part we associated Project Roles at a Wayfast Project level for a Wayfast Users previously created. This helped us to understand the important relationship between the Requirements and how they automatically grant access to the database.
