Defining roles

In project security, a role is a set of related privileges. Roles logically group privileges together based on the duties of the person with that role. The advantage of using roles over assigning privileges directly is that related privileges can be administered as a unit, which requires fewer steps and ensures consistency.

About this task

  1. Start an Admin session.
  2. On the Action Panel, click User Management.
  3. Click the Project Security tab.
  4. Click the Roles tab.
  5. Click Add.
  6. Name the role and specify the associated privileges.
  7. Click Save to save the changes.
  8. If necessary, edit or delete the existing roles.
