Question

Users with Multiple User Roles

0

Hi all, I have a question about how Mendix handles users that have multiple user roles assigned to them. It is my understanding that their access is the sum of their user roles, for example; User A has both ‘Standard’ and ‘Super User’ user roles assigned to them. Super Users have access to Microflow A but not B, Standard Users have access to Microflow B but not A. If this is the case, will User A have access to both microflows or will there be a conflict? TYIA.

Do beware that sometimes conflicting issues arise like configuring different role specific home pages for different roles.

Best practice is; have a single role per user.

2 roles can be useful for rare (admin) cases.
