Managing  Roles

In order to define roles, the permission to execute is assigned to specific tasks for each role. The assignment of tasks to this role applies in every administration range (domains, OUs, groups and software folders).
For this reason, the assignment of tasks to roles can only be specified for the root of the organization tree.

The procedure for defining roles is as follows:

  1. Select the root of the Organization Tree.
  2. Choose the Manage Roles task.

    The Role Management dialog is opened. All active roles are displayed.
    Show all also displays roles belonging to modules that are no longer installed and licensed.
    Effective Role Owners displays all users that own the selected role and also the matching container (permission context).

  3. Optionally, you can create a new role by selecting Create Role. Enter the name of the role.
    Confirm by clicking OK.
  4. To change the tasks assigned to an existing role, select the respective role.
  5. Activate the tasks you want the selected role to have execution rights.
  6. Select OK to close the dialog.
