Functions for Settings

Introduction

The functions control access to view or modify settings. Settings come in 3 categories

  • Settings for WEBSITE: Controls both visuals and functions in the front-ends

  • Settings for ORGANISATION:

    • Regular (Privilege: Admin)

    • Sensitive: for secrets, keys, etc (Privilege: System)

  • System settings: Installation-wide configuration of services

Users

Regular users require the function VIEW_ADMIN_SETTINGS for working in the MediaHaven 2.0 front-end. The default MediaHaven 2.0 roles all have this new function.
