Trouble with user management

[Mikael Pesonen]

Hi,

I'm having trouble adding users to VocBench (2.4.2 and 2.4.3).

I have been using default administrator account so far and now added
new user. In assignable user groups I added Administrator and for
Projects added all we have, but when logging in with new user and
selecting a project, the group selection list is empty and can't open
any project.

Also small bug, removing languages from a user (Declared language
proficiencies) doesnt remove them and gives no error.

Br,
Mikael

Hi Mikael,
the user management (in particular the assignment of users to project) can be seen as a two step process.
In the first part you specify which are the projects that a user can be interested in (this part it is normally done by the user itself when he is registering to VocBench and he is interested in accessing to some projects). This first part can also be achieved by the administrator by doing administration->Users. In this windows you have on the left part the list of all the users. Then by clicking on the user you see the "suggested" projects, roles and languages for the given user, but these features are not really assigned to the user.
In the second step, you bind a project to a user (in reality is the other way round). This can be achieved by clicking on: Administration->Projects. Here you have on the left part the list of projects. By clicking on a project, you have all the users which are allowed to use that specific project and, by selecting a user, you can see the groups and languages. By clicking on '+' in the user section you can add a user (the "Show only requested" let you switch from the complete list of users to the one containing just the subset which would like to be associated to that project).
Remember that each user can have different user groups and languages regarding different project, so the order by project (the second step) is the only way to achieve this associations.

Cheers,

Andrea

Any idea what could be wrong?

Hi Mikael,

Andrea replied to you here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/vocbench-user/iyNzknkHqaU/ZwscMwuiBwAJ

The general idea which has been introduced in VB2.4 (see https://bitbucket.org/art-uniroma2/vocbench/src/016f63e6f3888f2a820d7e4fa578d1f1d9d2421d/ChangeLog.txt , first entries of changelog for 2.4) is that each user is able to declare their capabilities, and their interest in certain projects. This is the first step that Andrea mentioned, which is normally performed by the user when they ask to be registered to VocBench, but also be performed by the Administrator. For instance, "assignable" user group means, "declared language proficiencies" etc... are a sort of profile of the user. This means that the user might declare themselves (for instance) as a "terminologist" , and thus include the "Term Editor" capability to their "assignable user groups". They can also mention to be proficient in some languages. If the Administrator creates a user, then it will be possible for the admin to define this profile.

The above profile is a template that can be used when assigning users to project and defining their capabilities locally to the given project.
For instance, user "userA" has registered to VocBench and provided (or, sameway, thw admin created userA and assigned to him the following capabilities) german and English as "declared language proficiencies" and added "term editors" in the "assignable user roles".

Then, the admin takes opens project "projectFoo" (from "Administration-->Projects") and assign userA to it.
userA will have no role nor language assigned to the project. It is the administrator that has to assign, specifically for projectFoo, the covered languages and roles to userA. The admin, when adding user groups and languages, may tick the "show only requested" in order filter only those assignable groups/languages declared in the profile of userA.

For instance, while userA might be proficient in English and German, the admin might decide that, since there is already a very qualified editor for English, he prefers to assign only german to userA, in the specific projectFoo project.

Hope it helps..or pls let us know if still something has been left out :-)

Hi,

oh, didn't realize to check from forum... Thank you, now I'm able to do
the configs.

Br,
Mikael

[Armando Stellato]

Hi Mikael,

unfortunately the default in google groups is to not download emails automatically, to avoid creation of groups intended for spamming...and the admin cannot change this default, only the user when they are subscribing :-(

you can set your preferences here:

Hi again!

Almost got this working. We have added user to project and user group is
"Ontolody editors" in project user settings. But when trying to move a
concept under another concept in hierarchy, VocBench stays in loading
state forever. When refreshed, concept is still in old place.

Br,
Mikael

[Armando Stellato]

Dear Mikael,

Let's check it :-)
Could you give us in the meanwhile some info about your conf?
Is your triple store the embedded sesame, or a remote connection to an external triple store (and in case, which one? Sesame, GraphDB, other?).
Did you load any data, or just started a project from scratch?
In the first case, how big is the data you loaded?

Sorry for all these questions, but we've feedback by other users who already adopted it with no issue, so we need to be able to replicate your environment.

Hi,

Below is the config. We have ~100 concepts in a hierarchy made with the
default Administrator user account.

Dear Mikael,

one thing missing: Is your triple store the embedded sesame, or a remote connection to an external triple store (and in case, which one? Sesame, GraphDB, other?).

I'm not sure what that means. I have semantic turkey running - that came
with Vocbench package.

Mikael

[Andrea Turbati]

Dear Mikael,
when you created the project, which value did you selected in "Mode:
connection/technology choice. This depends on the chosen triple store."?
In memory/persistent, in memory/no persistent, native store/pesistent,
remote access. In case of this last value, what type of triple are you
connecting to?

[Mikael Pesonen]

Hi,

I chose  in memory/persistent.
