Anyone using Docebo Connect to automatically give permissions to Power Users?

The example I’m thinking of off hand is Power User A creates a Learning Plan and based on the code convention is automatically shares with Power Users C and D? This is a manual touch on my end today, and I feel like it would be more scalable if I set up a recipe. I’m sure there are plenty of other examples, but I didn’t see it in the static list so I’m thinking maybe custom action.

Hi ​@captainzelda, it was so nice to meet you at Inspire! I am just getting started with Docebo Connect. 

This is an interesting idea, you have the power user profile that defines specific permissions and then the resources that are associated with the users.

You are right in that the API allows for a lot of PU provisioning. A quick glance implies it would cover everything.

How do you envision the trigger?

It was nice to get to meet you as well!

 

The way the API explorer looks, it’s a list. So I would assume we could FETCH list (hopefully based on parameters?) and then from that list assign to PU. In my case, we’re very strict about our CODE naming convention. Since things like catalogs and learning plans don’t have categories, it would be nice if created with a certain CODE then it gets batch added for certain power users. Might be a bit to set up, but I feel like the maintenance would have to be easier than what we’re doing today?

It sounds great. I am still getting up to speed with Docebo Connect while working on other fires that keep popping up.

story of my life. I’ll keep digging and report if I find a solution!

We manage PU access to courses via the catalogues and/or categories. Also for admin sharing the same courses and/LP’s, we usually create a “staging” catalogue that only admins have access to. Quicker than using Apis and perhaps easier to manage as well; no coding experience required.

I should have stated this earlier, but in previous setup we had a structure like ​@lrnlab mentions. For each PU profile I new what resources to assign.

In addition I had a Python script that went in and pulled all of the resources via the API, and stored it in a CSV file. That was very helpful when deciding how to provision the next PU in that profile.

Still working on getting all of that established at new position.

We use the API to manage power user resource assignment based on role and rules set by administrators in a spreadsheet. It’s done via a python script running daily instead of power automate, but I’m sure idea of it could be replicated in power automate.

 

I replied to another post with a small write up of it a while back if you’re interested
