Standard (Default) Permissions in Default Security Scheme

web-app

Ok. I completely wiped my install of Gemini because I have been fighting permission issues since the 3.X release. I did a clean install to 3.7 and try from scratch without dealing with upgrades etc.

It seems that everything is basically pre-configured for you except for the "Default Security Scheme" (Unless I missed a script or something).

So, if there was a script that created the Default Standard Permissions for each default global security group which is a part of the "Default Security Scheme" I think I may be able to use the system.

I just have no idea what permissions I should give to and Administrator versus a Developer. And quite frankly, why should I have to think about this. Maybe I would want to tweak it, but having the normal or standard permissions already there would give me a working system at the time of install instead of me beating my head against the wall to try to figure out what each permission does and whom I should grant each to. I realize that these permissions are pretty self explanitory... But again, why... Let me have a script that will set up a "Best Practices" install and at least get up and running. The I can tweak it if needed for my purposes, or for those that want completel flexability, don't run that script.

Just a suggestion that may help me and others. I just can't seem to get any Gemini going since the security changes in the 3.x product. I LOVED 2.X, it was simple. And I too wanted new features, so I understand that things had to change.

Right Now, I am a Global Admin of my Gemini install and I still cannot see the project I created.

There has to be someone that can explain this so I could get it. Or maybe I am really that stupid. If so, I need a new job ;)

Thanks for letting me vent. And as a caveat.. Saar is planning to do a remote help session and try to get me squared away. But I just thought this script idea may help others also.

Are you running with the sample database or a blank one?

The sample database comes with 2 security schemes to show you how to configure security.

The only gotcha in them is that they allow "Everyone" to see the project. Simply edit them and remove everyone from the permission list.

As for not seeing your project, edit the security scheme that the project uses and give your user group (say gemini admins) the view project permission.

Mark, thanks for the reply. I have to assume that I installed the blank database. Maybe that was a mistake. Can I run the script to create the samples on top of the project and settings I already have in there?
