Configure Roles

Overview

Roles are assigned one or more role groups to determine the permissions that a role is granted. Once roles are set up they can be assigned to users in order to impart the needed permissions to that user.

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.

Prerequisites

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

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.
