Roles are configured in Setup / Users & Accounts / Users / Roles

...

In the event role groups assigned to a role have opposing settings (one role group grants read rights to a screen and another does not grant read rights to the screen) the role group that enables the permission will take precedence.

As of version 10.5.0 the system is configured with four roles (Read Only Core, Admin, API Admin and API ReadOnly). These roles use core role groups to define their permissions. These default core roles cannot be modified or deleted.

Prerequisites

  • Role groups must be setup in order to assign permissions to roles.

Roles Panel

The Roles panel on the left of this screen allows you to select existing roles to view and edit on the Edit Role panel to the right. Actions are also available in this panel which are shown as icons above the Filter text box. The available actions are described below.

  • Name: a descriptive name for the role (administrator, account manager, etc.)

  • Type: indicates if the role provides permissions to access the Application UI (AdminPortal) or provides API permissions. A role can only be setup with either Application or API role groups, a role cannot be configured with both types of role groups

Role Groups tab

On this tab you can view, add and delete role groups which define the permissions granted to the role. You can only select role groups that match the role type (e.g. if the role Type is set to ‘API’ then only role groups configured with the Type ‘API’ will appear in the Role Groups drop down field).

References tab

This section indicates where the selected role is in use within the system. A Filter References field is present which allows you to filter down to the see references that you wish to seerelated to a particular system entity.
