Assigning a role

You can assign a role to a user in the following ways:

• When creating the user account.

  In this way, you can assign one or more roles to the same user.

• When editing the user account.

  In this way, you can assign one or more roles to the same user.

• When selecting users in the table of user accounts.

  In this way, you can assign one role to one or more users.

To assign a role to selected users in the table of user accounts:

1. In the main window of the application web interface, open the management console tree and select the Accounts and roles section.

   This opens the user account table on the Accounts tab.

2. Select the check boxes next to the user accounts to which you want to assign a role.
3. Click Assign role and select the role that you want to assign to the selected users from the drop-down list.

   If the role you want is not present in the drop-down list, you can create it by clicking the Create role link in the lower part of the drop-down list and then assigning it to the users.

4. In the confirmation window, click Assign role.

The role is assigned to the selected users.

Changes of the set of permissions take effect for users that have the role assigned 30 seconds after the changes are saved or after the next authorization in the web interface.
