Procedure

  1. Start the user-role assignment function, by choosing Portal Admin ® Role Assignment.

    2. The following screen appears.

  2. Choose the user or group to which you wish to assign a role.

    3. You can use the search function with the wild card '*' to find a user or group. You can also use the navigation buttons at the bottom of the list.

  3. Choose Edit in the left hand column.

    4. The screen in which you can assign roles to users or groups appears. On the left, you can see the attributes of the user or group if they have been maintained in the corporate LDAP directory. On the top right, you can see the roles that are already assigned to the user or group. On the bottom right, you can see all the roles in the system.

  4. If you want to assign one or more roles to the user or group, select one or more roles in the list on the bottom right. Choose Add.

You can also configure screen reader support for users with visual impairment by selecting Screen Reader Support.

  1. Choose Save.

Result
