Managing Roles by Role
The Permissions administrator can select roles by name, view all users with the role, and assign users to the role.
To add a role by role:
- On the user permissions page, in the Modify Roles By list, select Role.
- In the Role to Assign to Users area, select the desired role.
- Click Search. The Users without this Role and Users with this Role fields are populated.
- Select the desired user(s) in the Users without this Role field. More than one user can be selected when assigning the role.
- If the role is group-aware, the Groups to be Assigned to User(s) for the Selected Role(s) list appears. The list defaults with the Global group configuration name. If want to modify this, click Modify in the Groups area to select the group to which the role applies. The Select Groups window appears. It lists available group configuration names that can be applied to the role. The group configuration name can include one or more groups that use the configuration. It is the group configuration that controls to which groups this role applies.
- Select the desired group configuration name.
- Click Done.
- Click Add to assign the role to the user.
To remove a role by role:
- On the user permissions page, in the Modify Roles By list, select Role.
- In the Role to Assign to Users field, select the desired role.
- Click Search. The Users without this Role and Users with this Role fields are populated.
- Select the desired user in the Users with this Role field.
- Click Remove to remove the role from the user.
To change the group assignment for a role:
The administrator can change the groups that a role is assigned, without removing the role.
- In the user permissions section, select the desired role.
- Click Modify in the groups area. The Select Groups window appears.
- Select the appropriate groups.
- Click Done.
- Click Modify.
