ACL (Access Control List) Manager

ACL Manager is a system component used to define and manage who can access specific functionality block within a platform. In a school or workspace context, an ACL Manager is typically used to ensure that, for example:
- students can view lessons, but cannot edit them;
- Teachers can manage sections and grades;
- Admins can configure settings and manage users.

Thus, the ACL Manager enforces security and role-based access by checking permissions before allowing any action in the system.

6. Fill in the fields in the form:
   - name;
   - indicate whether the user type represents school/staff personnel;
7. Click "Submit".
8. Then go to the workspace templates list, click "Edit" to the right of the draft of the new template, and select this owner role in the bottom list.

    - Teacher
    - Administrator

    - Deputy Director

13. Click "Add User Type".
14. Fill in all fields in the form:
    - name;
    - indicate whether the user type represents school/staff personnel;
    - indicate whether the user type is a student.
15. Click "Submit".
16. Check the necessary permissions according to the added User Types.
17. Click the "Submit" button at the top right corner of the page to save the settings.
