Updating Multiple Roles

Use

You can use Role Update to change the attributes for multiple roles. The available actions are update, delete, or add.

The role update process includes the following procedures:

Selecting Roles
1. On the Select Roles screen, choose Add.
2. Search for and select roles based on criteria, such as role name, critical level, business process, and so on.
3. Choose OK and then Next.
Selecting Criteria
1. On the Select Criteria screen, choose the Attributes dropdown list and select an attribute to update.
2. Choose the Actions dropdown list, and select an available action. You can choose to update, delete, or add.
  
  Note
  
  The actions displayed in the dropdown list are dependent on the attribute. Multiple valued attributes display Update, Delete, and Add. Single valued attributes display only Update. For example, for the attribute business processes, only the action Update is available.
3. Select your option for Reset Role Methodology. Choose Yes to set the roles back to the first phase of the role methodology. For example, a role is in the fourth phase of a role methodology; this function sets the role back to the first phase.
