Adding a Role

A user role is a name associated with a collection of security access rights to the information contained in system components. Roles combine the permissions needed for several related tasks and allow you to more efficiently provide users with access to the parts of the system they need.

To add a new role, select Add from the Actions menu on the Role Overview component header. Enter information in these fields:

Apply your changes to the system by clicking the Save button. The system displays a message to confirm that the new role was saved in the database.

After creating a new user role, you must then assign access rights to it. To assign access rights to the new role, click the Select Dashboard Components button. For more information about assigning access rights, see Assigning Component Access Rights to a Role.
