👥 User Roles and Rights — BizFlowEngine

BizFlowEngine provides a role-based access control system to manage user permissions, workflows, and administrative configurations. There are three main user types:

sysadmin
um (User Manager)
Other request initiators and authorizers

🛡️ sysadmin User

The sysadmin is the default administrative user responsible for system-wide configurations.

🔧 sysadmin Capabilities:

Module	Description
Branches	Create multiple branches to segregate employees and requests
Departments	Define departments with optional parent-child hierarchy
Designations	Set up designations with hierarchy support
Employees	Add employee profiles with branch, department, and designation info
Users	Create CIM users (linked to employee profiles)
User Roles	Create roles that define menu access and actions
User Role Access	Define which roles can access which menus and actions
System Parameters	Set global settings like password policies
Authorization Layers	Create groups of authorizers for specific UIs
Alert Groups	Define employee groups for alert notifications
Admin Workflows	Configure workflows for admin UIs (e.g., Employees, Branches)
License Info	View and manage license details

🔐 CIM Employees: If isCIMEmployee is checked, the employee can only create users and assign roles — no request initiation or authorization rights.

👤 um (User Manager) User

The um user is responsible for user creation and role assignment.

🔧 um Capabilities:

Module	Description
Users	Create users based on valid employee profiles
User Roles	Assign roles (created by sysadmin) to users

✅ CIM users can also perform um user functions.

🧑‍💼 Other Users (Initiators & Authorizers)

Any user created from an employee profile can act as:

A Request Initiator
A Request Authorizer

🔐 Role-Based Access

Roles define:
- Menu visibility
- Action permissions (Create, Edit, Delete, Authorize, etc.)
When a user logs in:
- Menu options appear based on assigned roles
- Action buttons are visible only if granted
