Assign roles to users

Prev Next

You can assign or remove a role to/from a user at any time.

Note

A user granted a role in a parent admin domain inherits the same role in any child domains below the parent, unless the user's role is altered in a child domain.

To assign a role to a user in a domain, do the following:

Task

  1. Select Manager → <Admin Domain Name> → Users and Roles → Role Assignments.
  2. Select a user in the Role Assignments table.
  3. View the user's role in the field Roles (Current Domain). If no role has been assigned, this field is empty.
  4. Click .

    Note

    A user can have a different role in any or all admin domains regardless of the admin domain in which the user was created. If the user is to be granted a role in an admin domain higher than the one where it was created, the administrator of that higher domain must assign that role. An administrator can only grant or deny roles in the admin domains where he/she has that privilege. If a user has been allotted a Super user role at the parent and the child domain, the user should select a domain from the home page at the time of login. The home page displays a drop-down above the menu bar in such cases.

    Current Assignments and New Assignment sections are displayed. If a role is already assigned to the user, the role in Assigned Role column is displayed in Current Assignments section.
  5. In New Assignment, the Login ID of the user is displayed by default.
  6. Select the Admin Domain from the drop-down list.
  7. Select the role(s) to be assigned to the user from the drop down list.
  8. Click Save.
