Why are roles so important?

Since the introduction of ACL, it is particularly important to assign newly created users to a project immediately. A user without an assigned project cannot see anything in eliona and cannot perform any actions.

Learn -> here how to assign a user to a project.

Why is that?

If a user is not assigned to any project, then for this user Users no project role applies either.

If no project role applies to a user, only the settings of the system role apply.

The default system role of every new user is "System-User". This role has no read permissions at all.

Therefore, a user with the system role "System-User" cannot see any menu items and cannot perform any actions.
