Roles and Permissions Support

You can add/edit roles and permission for administrators. Seafile has four build-in admin roles:

  1. default_admin, has all permissions.

  2. system_admin, can only view system info and config system.

  3. daily_admin, can only view system info, view statistic, manage library/user/group, view user log.

  4. audit_admin, can only view system info and admin log.

All administrators will have default_admin role with all permissions by default. If you set an administrator to some other admin role, the administrator will only have the permissions you configured to True.

Seafile supports eight permissions for now, its configuration is very like common user role, you can custom it by adding the following settings to seahub_settings.py.

ENABLED_ADMIN_ROLE_PERMISSIONS = {
    'system_admin': {
        'can_view_system_info': True,
        'can_config_system': True,
    },
