Add a Role

Once you create roles and assign permissions to them, there should be little need to change them - the only regular changes will be to assign users to the roles through the web application.

To add a role

  1. In the web application, select Admin Menu path separator Security Menu path separator Security Roles from the menu. The default view of roles is displayed.
  2. Click New.
  3. Complete all role properties, as required.

    The Role Validity section is read-only - you cannot change any details in this section.

  4. Optional steps:
  5. Click Save.
  6. Click Close to close the form and return to the Security Users list view.
  7. To make changes visible, you need to run a publish.
