Use

In the user management administration console, you can create, modify, and delete UME roles. In addition, you can assign roles to users.

Note

If a portal is also running on the J2EE Engine, the portal roles are also displayed in the role management function of the administration console. For more information on portal roles, see UME Roles and Portal Roles and Roles and Worksets.

UME roles define a set of authorizations. By assigning a role to a user or group, you grant the set of authorizations that the role defines to the user or group. For example, you can create a role containing all the permissions that a user administrator requires and assign this role to all user administrators.
