This topic provides instructions for managing roles.

About this task

Use the Roles Management page to review the system defined roles (Customer, Service and Administrator) or to customize the user defined roles. Each role has its description, role name and a set of the system console permissions. The Security Roles section is used to select one of the eight roles (three system roles and five custom roles). When a selection is made, the settings for that role are displayed in the Role Settings section. The system roles have fixed settings and it is not possible to change these settings. The remaining five roles can be customized.

1. From the System console management GUI, select Console Settings > Roles Management.

To customize a user defined role:

2. Select one of the custom roles from the Security Roles section.
3. Assign the Role Name and Description.
4. Mark the System Console Permissions for this role, optionally by selecting a role in the Apply Template drop box, you can copy the permissions of one of the system roles.
5. Click Apply Changes for the changes to take affect. A message displays if the changes were applied successfully.
6. Click Cancel to cancel the changes.
