Training Understand Web Access
What you'll learn: what a Web Access user (limited or full) sees, why a role is required, and how an administrator gets them working. You need: a login with Web Access to an application (UI label "Tenant"), and — to grant access — an Administrator. Time: 5 minutes.
Web Access is the access type for end users who work inside published screens rather than building the application. It comes in two forms — limited web access and full web access — and both require a role (created by the application administrator) before the user can do anything in the system.
Unlike Administrator and Developer Access, Web Access grants no menu sections on its own. Everything a web user can see or do comes from the role assigned to them.
-
Sign in and open the application. With no role assigned, you land on a welcome / empty-state screen: "You're seeing this screen because you don't have any roles assigned." It points you to the header Search and the System menu.
- The left rail reads "NO ROLE OR ACCESS TYPE MENU CONFIGURED" — there are no menu sections, and the role footer shows No role active.
-
Header Search finds nothing. Searching for an existing screen returns "No results found" — without a role granting access, screens aren't reachable.
First sign-in can take a while to load. Give it a moment before assuming something is wrong.
The application administrator does three things:
- Create a role with a Menu builder section and the screens the user should see — Training: Create a Role.
- Grant the role the right permissions via a policy and policy group — Training: Grant Permissions with Policies.
- Assign the role to the user and have them activate it — Training: Manage App Users.
Once a role is active, the user's menu section and assigned screens appear, and they can work.
Before a role: welcome screen, empty left rail, Search finds nothing. After an administrator assigns and the user activates a role: the role's menu section appears with its screens.
| Access type | Menu sections before any role |
|---|---|
| Administrator | APP ADMIN and DEVELOPMENT |
| Developer Access | DEVELOPMENT only |
| Web Access (limited / full) | None — a role is required |
