Understanding QCUL Joomla Permissions at a Glance
QCUL uses focused Joomla ACL permissions for laboratory/settings/report work and adds a stricter Super User requirement around live production push and rollback.
Current component permissions
| Permission | Allows |
|---|---|
| Manage Settings | Change QC Update Laboratory settings. |
| Create Laboratories | Create a private update-testing laboratory. |
| Test and Manage Updates | Create or refresh the laboratory, test updates, and continue paused work. |
| View Laboratories | View laboratory status and private access details. |
| Remove Laboratories | Permanently remove the private laboratory and its temporary rollback checkpoints. |
| Download Reports | View and download update-test and production reports. |
Production authority is stricter
Production push and production rollback require a Joomla Super User with the necessary QCUL operation permission. QCUL reloads the exact run/item/package/current state server-side before protected work; a visible button or modified form submission is not sufficient authorization.
Recommended delegation
Give support staff only the smallest permissions they need. A reviewer can receive View Laboratories and Download Reports without Remove Laboratories. Keep live production push/rollback with a small group of experienced Super Users.
Practical administration note
For Understanding QCUL Joomla Permissions at a Glance, make changes from the live Joomla administrator and verify the result in the same QCUL tab before starting laboratory work. QCUL’s streamlined 1.01.14 interface intentionally hides developer storage paths, raw batch controls, licensing fields, and retired management screens; do not look for those older controls as part of the current procedure.
