To assign a user to a role, you must have Administrator role permissions to:

  • add or update a role
  • assign users to roles.

You can also assign users to roles on the Roles tab.

Any type of user (authenticated or non-authenticated) can be assigned to a role. If a user is not explicitly assigned to any role by the administrator, they will be assigned to the default role.

As soon as a user is assigned to a particular role, that role's permissions are added to the user's total set of permissions.
