Hi,
When talking with JV about the first 5 minutes experience, we thought
about
adding some user roles inside XE.
From the start the user could select his appropriate role inside the wiki
and we could customize his environment according to that role.
We talked about:
- display a "Get started" wizard the first time a user logs in:
Already proposed at:
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWiki5MinutesPropo…
- when the user starts/finishes the wizard, he's asked to choose a
role/flavor: (normal, advanced), (user, developer, administrator), etc.
- choosing a role configures the wiki with some predefined values for the
profile preferences;
- a user can later fine tune his preferences.
You can see the proposal at
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/UserRoles
I like the idea in general but IMO the UI isn't clear since you can choose
both a role AND options below but they're exclusive since AFAIU a role is a
preset of those options. This is not clear from the UI.
From the proposal page:
"- Changing the role
will set the preferences to a certain value that
correspond to the role;
- 'Custom' option will preserve the last user configuration (in order to
let the user play with the role selector and preserve his entries) and will
not depend of a certain role;
- Selecting 'Developer' role and then changing one of the preset
preferences, will change the role to 'Custom...'."
Selecting a Role from above will "reset to default" the preferences.
Any change on the preferences from the user's part will set the Role to
"Custom..."
Thanks,
Caty
Thanks
