Roles

Roles

Roles match the users with Security and Permissions within the system.

  1. From the Administration and Maintenance tab, select Roles.
  2. Create a new role. Then, click Save Changes.
    1. Description - Enter a description of the new role in the blank space with the asterisk * (typically the last row).
    2. Template - The template is used to initially copy existing permissions when the new role is created.  It is also used when permissions are added by future program updates to determine appropriate defaults.

      1. (none) - No future permissions will ever be automatically granted to this role. 

      2. System Administrator - All future permissions will be automatically granted to this role by default.
      3. Normal (recommended) - Future permissions that default to admin-only will not be granted to this role; but future permissions that default to all users will be granted by default.

Permissions

Defines the access and actions available within the system for a specific role.

  1. From the Administration and Maintenance tab, select Permissions.
  2. Establish security levels for each permission and role. Then, click Save Changes.

    Info
    titlePermissions

    Information about each permission is given at the bottom of the window to further explain each in better detail.

    1. Select a permission from the list.
    2. Use the drop-down menu to establish the permission setting for each Role.

      NoneUsers assigned to only one role will not have the ability to perform this function (see below for more details)
      AllowUsers will have the ability to perform this function.
      DenyUsers will not have the ability to perform the function.
      Note
      titleDeny

      If a user role has been set to Deny a function and a user attempts to perform the denied task, the option of performing an override is available. If the user requests an override attempt, an administrator or additional higher level role has the ability to accept or reject the override attempt. For more information on releasing override attempts, refer to Release Override Requests in the Utilities section.

Permission Matrix

Info

If a user is only assigned to one role, the None setting acts the same as the Deny setting. If a second role is assigned to the user and places an Allow setting for a function already set as None, the user will be allowed access. None will always be treated as Deny unless overwritten by an Allow. This allows secondary roles to be created that explicitly Allow or Deny a single function without having to reset every other function.
