When adding users to LUNA, it's important to think about all the different access options you have. Perhaps you'd like Isabelle to be able to edit records from one collection but not another. Or let Pam export images at the highest resolution from the LUNA Viewer but not have access to the LUNA Collection Manager. This is all possible with credentials and access permissions.

Once a credential is assigned to the user, they should have the correct permissions and access levels to collections and the Independent Media Items Container. If they can't view a collection, edit records, etc. chances are there's a setting that needs to be fixed in the credential or access permission.

Super Admin

As it's title suggests, the "super admin" role is mostly reserved for those who need total access to the system. Only a select few should be made super admins.

A super admin is the only one who can access the "Application Configuration" tab, make other super admins, and edit passwords. The super admin and admin roles are assigned to a user in addition to a credential.

A super admin will also be able to see all collections in the LUNA Library without having to add those collections to their credential. This allows the super admin to login to the LUNA Library or Collection Manager and immediately get a sense of how many collections have been built and by whom. While they super admin can see all collections in the LUNA Library and Collection Manager, in order to see them in the LUNA Viewer the collections need to be added to their credential.

 

Registering with LUNA Viewer

...

  • Allow export for LUNA Viewer
  • Allow My Uploads for LUNA Viewer
  • List of allowed file extensions for LUNA Viewer and LUNA Library
  • Ability to create, edit or delete templates in the Collection Manager
  • Ability to create, or delete collections in the Collection Manager (editing collection properties is collection specific and granting this permission is handled using an Access Permission as explained below).)
  • Access to LUNA Administrator
  • Access to LUNA Publisher

You can create as many credentials as needed, and assign them to your users. You will always have an "Anonymous User" credential. This credential is automatically assigned to any user that registers an account with the LUNA Viewer. Typically this credential is for users who are mainly accessing the LUNA Viewer.

 

About Access Permissions

The next important concept has to do with access permissions. Access permissions are added to a credential. As described above the credential grants permission to certain LUNA tools and features, while an access permission pertains only to a specific collection and what a user can do with that collection.

...

When a collection is made 5 default access permissions are created. You can think of these as representing different roles, from admin to restricted. So all you have to do is pick one of the 5 access permissions for a collection and add it to the credential. The settings for these 5 default access permissions are:

Editing Access Permissions

There are 2 ways to edit an access permission.

  1. Go into the Access Permissions tab, highlight the one you wish you wish to edit and click on "Edit Selected".
  2. While in the credential click on "Edit" for the access permission you wish to edit.
