Description

This plugin/fragment extends iDempiere with a new Dashboard Panel called Broadcaster
Broadcaster shows users and their online/offline status
Which clients/orgs/roles/locations/users a user can see is determined by it's client/org/role access
The Dashboard Panel shows every client/org/role/country/region a user is allowed to see
You can send a broadcast message to a client/org/role/country/region/user by clicking on the entry in the tree
Use the Invisible in Role checkbox on "Role>User Assignment" or "User>User Roles" to make the user invisible in this Role (e. g. if you don't want the SuperUser to be visible for GardenWorld Users)
