👥 Permissions

Crawl Permissions

User management and group editing can be done from the Administration interface, by clicking on Users or Groups. Thanks to the Django framework, fine-grained permissions can be defined by group and by user.

Permissions are set by the type of objects that can be modified through the Administration interface. Some of these permissions also grant access to other parts of the user interface:

  • Can add document: Grants access to the 🌐 Crawl a new URL page.

  • Can change document: Grants access to document actions such as Crawl now, Remove from crawl queue, Convert screens to JPEG.

  • Can view crawler stats: Grants access to the ✔ Crawl queue page and 🕷 Crawlers page.

  • Can change crawler stats: Grants access to the Pause and Resume crawler buttons in the ✔ Crawl queue page and 🕷 Crawlers page.

Search Permissions

By default, search requires users to be authenticated, but anonymous searches can be enabled with the related option.
