About User Roles

Before they can use the Personalization Operations console, users or groups of users must be added as users and then assigned roles and Personalization Groups. You can do this in User Roles, if you have the Master Administrator role. You can also edit role and group assignments and delete users and groups.

If a user is a member of  multiple groups in the user roles list, an error message is generated when they log in.

To access the page, click User Roles in the navigation bar.

The page lists existing users and groups, with their roles and assigned Personalization Groups. Filter the list by entering the leading characters of the user or group name in the filter box at the top of the page.

To manage user roles, use the following commands:

Icon Task
Add users/groups
Edit selected users/groups
Delete selected users/groups
