New Role

The New Role page allows you to create a new role and assign permissions to that role.

To create a new role:

1. In the Role Description entry field, enter a unique name for the role.
2. Choose the user level that this permission is assigned to from the drop-down menu.
3. Assign permissions to the role as required:
   • To add a permission to the role, select a permission from the Available Permissions list, then click the Add >> button.

     The permission appears in the Selected Permissions list.

   • To remove a selected permission, select it from the Selected Permissions list, then click the << Remove button.

     The permission returns to the Available Permissions list.

4. If your system is configured for assignable user roles and you have added a Create/Read/Update/Delete Users permission (or another similar user management permission like Create/Read/Update/Delete Home Location Users) to the role, you can further assign which specific user roles can be managed:
   • To make a user role manageable, select a role from the Unassignable User Roles Permissions list, then click the Add >> button (or click the Add All >> button to assign all user roles).

     The role (or roles) appears in the Assignable User Roles list.

   • To remove a manageable user role, select it from the Assignable User Roles list, then click the << Remove button (or click the << Remove All button to unassign all user roles).

     The role (or roles) returns to the Unassignable User Roles list.

5. Click the Save button to record the new role in the database.

   Note: To abandon the new role, click the Cancel button.
