Administrative roles

In order to use the management interface, users need to be assigned the appropriate roles.

Info

This section assumes you are using Microsoft Azure AD B2C authentication, the only currently supported authentication scheme in GIFramework Maps. If you are not using authentication, this section is not relevant.

Relevant tables

Table Name	Description
ApplicationRoles	Contains all the available Roles users can have. This should not be edited as it is tied directly to the application code
ApplicationUserRoles	Mapping between user identifiers and the roles they have

ApplicationRoles

This table contains the role names available in the application. Currently there is only one role, GIFWAdmin. This role gives access to all the administrative functions of the application, so should only be given to highly trusted users.

Warning

The data in this table is relied on by the application directly, so should not be edited

ApplicationUserRoles

This table contains the mapping between a user and the roles they have been given. To give a user a role, simply provide their user identifier and the Id from the ApplicationRoles table.

Hint

You can get a user's identifier (or your own) by getting them to go to https://<your-application-root>/account/diagnostics and looking up the nameidentifier value.
