Managing roles

The library has four preset roles, each with different levels of access to the management GUI. You can create up to 16 new roles, each with a custom name and one of the preset access levels. All roles have access to all logical libraries.

From the management GUI, use the Access > Roles page to manage roles. From this page you can:
  • View the current roles and the number of users mapped to each role.
  • View the properties of each role – specifically, a list of management GUI pages and whether users with that role can view or edit the information on that page. You cannot change a role's access levels from the management GUI, but you can do it from the CLI.
  • Create a new role. You will be prompted to enter a name for the role and one of the four preset roles to determine the access level.
  • Delete a role. You cannot delete a preset role, and you cannot delete a custom role that has users assigned to it.
For the TS4500, you can use CLI commands to:
  • View the current roles and the number of mapped users (viewRoles).
  • View a role's access levels (viewRolePermissions).
  • Change a role's access levels (setRolePermissions).
