RC-E User Manual
Management Client (RC-E Manager)
Manage Roles
Roles determine which of your RC-E solution's features users and groups (see "Manage Users and Groups" on page
145) are able to use. In other words, roles determine rights and handles security within the application.
You define roles first, then you add users/groups and a time profile to each role. Added roles automatically also
become view groups (see "Manage View Groups" on page 108). These are only used with Ocularis Client Limited
Mode.
One role is predefined in RC-E , and cannot be deleted: the
Administrators
Role.
In addition to the
Administrators
role, you are able to add as many roles as required in your organization.
To manage roles in RC-E , expand the
Security
folder in the Management Client's Site Navigation pane (see "Panes
Overview" on page 36), and select
Roles
.
For more information see also Assign and Remove Users and Groups to/from Roles
(on page 149) and
Specify
Rights of a Role
(on page 150).
Note that roles may also determine access to views in clients; see Manage View Groups (on page 108).
More About Administrators role
The
Administrators
role is predefined, and cannot be deleted. Users and groups with the
Administrators
role have
complete and unrestricted access to the entire RC-E system. For this reason it is not necessary to specify role
settings for the
Administrators
role. Because the
Administrators
role has complete and unrestricted access, it does not
have a time profile (see "Manage Time Profiles" on page 138).
You add users and groups to the
Administrators
role just as with any other role; see Assign and Remove Users and
Groups to/from Roles (on page 149).
IMPORTANT:
Users with
local machine administrator
rights on the computer running the management server will
automatically have administrator rights on the management server. It is therefore important that you verify which users
have
local machine administrator
rights on the computer running the management server: Only users whom you trust
as administrators of your RC-E system should have
local machine administrator
rights on the computer running the
management server.
