Building Roles
You should define the roles that fit your security policy. Users should be assigned roles based on their
responsibilities, such as Engineer or Operator. Permissions are assigned to roles, not users, and what a user can do
is based on their role. To put it anoth- er way, first construct a set of roles that fits your security policy and then
assign each user the appropriate role to grant them the permissions they need to do their job. Remember, a user
can have only one role.
Roles are typically named for the job function they represent. The default set of roles includes job functions such as
Operator and Service Engineer. You can create your own roles or redefine the defaults to fit your own security
policy.
To create a role:
On the Security tab in Settings, click Edit.
Click Edit.
Click Add Role.
Enter the Role Name in the sidebar. This should describe the job function so that everyone in your
organization knows what tasks this role is required to do.
Select the various permissions the role requires. Permissions are detailed in the following table.
Click save.
