Custom User Profile Based on Entity

It would be beneficial to create custom user profiles in GLPI based on departments and assign permissions to different entities.

(This example is very simplified)

Example:

1. User Profiles:

   • IT Department
   • HR Department
   • Finance Department
   • Marketing Department

2. Permissions:

   • Tickets
   • Assets
   • Projects

3. Entities:

   • IT Entity
   • HR Entity
   • Finance Entity
   • Marketing Entity

Permission Matrix:

Collaborative Projects:

Explanation:

• IT Entity: IT and Finance departments collaborate on Project A.
• HR Entity: HR and Marketing departments collaborate on Project B.
• Finance Entity: IT, Finance, and Marketing departments collaborate on Project C.
• Marketing Entity: Marketing, HR, and IT departments collaborate on Project D.

Benefits:

• No need to switch profiles.
• All information is available in one view.
• Users see only the departments and entities where they have permissions.
• Simplifies workflow and improves efficiency.
• Enhances collaboration by allowing multiple departments to share permissions within the same entity.

With templates, you can set rules for defining items like tickets or assets. Applying this to profile customization in GLPI allows users to work within the full structure of the root entity but only see departments and entities where they have permissions. This avoids the need to change profiles to work in different departments.
