Compile Matrix of ArchivesSpace User Groups per Repository and their Permissions

[crugas]

Make a matrix chart with each ArchivesSpace repository's user groups and their associated permissions. We want to cross compare the user groups and specifically their permissions against each other. This comparison will determine what updates to permissions we need to make so users have more/less features available to them when using ArchivesSpace at each user group when assigned.

The matrix should be structured like so:

• Column = User Group
• Row = Permission
• Sheet = Repository

Requirements:

• Every repository should have the same user groups
• Every user group should have the same permissions across all the repositories
• Permissions should err on the side of more features/capabilities for users where reasonable

Context:

• Every repository should have 11 user groups
  • Default ArchivesSpace User Groups:
    • Managers of the (repository-archive-managers)
    • Project managers of the (repository-archive-project-managers)
    • Archivists of the (repository-archivists)
    • Advanced Data Entry users of the (repository-data-entry-advanced)
    • Basic Data Entry users of the (repository-data-entry-basic)
    • Viewers of the (repository-viewers)
  • SI-specific User Groups:
    • View contact details for agent records (si-agent-contact-info)
    • Create and Edit assessment records, but not change attribute definitions (si-assessments)
    • Create, Edit, Merge authority records (Names and Subjects) (si-authorities)
    • Generate Reports, PDFs (Background Jobs) (si-background-jobs)
    • Create and Edit classification records and terms (si-classifications)
