Manage users, roles and badges

Give people the right role, award or remove a relief-camp badge, and remove an account, from User & role management.

For: Administrators

User & role management lists every account on Nigraan. Only administrators can open it: Admin console, then the User & role management tab.

Read the list

Each person shows their name (or Unnamed user), their badge if they have one, and their email. Your own account is marked You.

Change someone's role

Find the person.
Choose a new role in Role:. The roles are Public User, Validator, Partner, Institutional, Administrator and Donor.
The change is saved at once, and Saved appears beside the name.

You cannot change your own role, because doing so could lock you out of the console.

Give this role	To someone who
Public User	Reports hazards and lists relief camps. This is the default.
Validator	Reviews reports and badge requests.
Partner	Uploads an NGO's or agency's datasets.
Institutional	Works for an institution or agency, and may approve or deny reports on the Data page.
Donor	Needs read-only reporting on approved data.
Administrator	Runs Nigraan. Keep this list short.

Award or remove a badge

Public users have a Badge: list beside their role.

Choose a badge to award it directly, whatever their number of approved camps. The person is told.
Choose No badge to remove it. Nigraan asks you to confirm, and the person is told. The badge disappears from everywhere it was shown.

Most badges should come through Badge reviews, where a validator checks the camps. A direct award is for exceptions, such as correcting a mistake. See Review badge requests.

Staff accounts have no badge list, because badges are only for public users.

Remove an account

Click the bin button at the end of a person's row. Nigraan asks you to confirm: the person's login and profile are deleted, and they cannot sign back in. This cannot be undone. You cannot remove your own account.
