About this task

Complete this task to review and customize user-defined roles.

Use the Roles Management page to review the system defined roles (Read Only, Operator, and Administrator). Also, it is possible to customize the user-defined roles, each role has its description, role name, and a set of the system console permissions, as shown in Figure 1. 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.
