Defining, Editing, and Deleting Roles
A role is a list of users and/or groups assigned a specific set of permissions.
To define a role:
- Click the Create button.
- In the General Properties tab, provide a Role
name (required) and description.
Allowable characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, underscore, or special characters
(for example, accented characters) when running in a language other than English.
The display of the name is case sensitive but the actual username that is
authenticated is case insensitive. The names Public, Private,
and Properties are reserved and cannot be used for an object name.
- At this time you can set users and groups for the role. For more information,
see Changing Role Members.
- Click the Save button to define the new role.
To edit a role:
- Select a role name from the Role list box.
- Double click the role name or click the Edit button to edit the role.
- Make your changes.
- Click the Save button.
To delete a role:
- Select a role name from the Role list box.
- Click the Delete button to delete the role.
The role is immediately deleted and cannot be recovered without re-creating
it.
