Adding a new Role

Top  Previous  Next

When creating new security roles you need to consider which permissions to allow for users who have this role. When a user has more then one role, each role will be queried when the user attempts to access a secured page, and the user will only be allowed access if at least one of the roles has the required permission enabled.

 

Adding_Roles

 

Name

The name of the role, which must be unique to all other roles defined on the management server.

 

Description

A brief note which can be used to describe who the role should apply to or what access a user will have when they have this role.

 

Default

When a role is set to be a default role, it will automatically be selected when you create new users. Setting this value does not have any affect on existing users.

 

Permissions

These are the permissions that the user will be granted if they have the role is applied to them. You can toggle all radio buttons in a group by clicking on the 'Allow' or 'Disallow' headings.  Please note that permissions are additive, so that if a user has multiple roles then they will be allowed to perform any action that is allowed in any of the roles.
