Assigning roles to users

The following steps demonstrate how to add users to a role. In this example, an existing role Test Role 1 is used.

  1. Under the Members tab, in the Users list, click EDIT USER(S)
    The Role Assignment modal window appears.
  2. There are several options to add a user as a member:
    • Search

      If you have a long list of users in the Members section, use the Search box to find user names, select them from the sub-list, and click ADD>> to move them to the right side of the modal window.

      When you are ready, click APPLY.

    • Select

      In the Members section, select the users to assign to the role and click ADD>> to move them to the right side of the modal window.

      When you are ready, click APPLY.

    • Select All

      To assign all users to Members, mark Select All to get all user names and click ADD>> to move them to the right side of the modal window.

      When you are ready, click APPLY.

    • Adding externally defined users; LDAP authentication

      For convenience, the Role Assignment interface supports adding usernames that are not stored locally. For example, you can add known usernames available through LDAP authentication in this manner.

      Enter the new user name and click ADD>>. After the new user name appears in the Members section, select it and click ADD>> to move the new user to the right side of the modal window.

      When you are ready, click APPLY.

    • Remove

      To remove users from the Members list, select the user(s) on the right side panel and click <<.

      When you are ready, click APPLY.

    The list of users assigned to the role appears in the Role: Test Role 1 interface, under the Members tab.

  3. Click SAVE.
    A confirmation of the role update appears briefly on the screen and the members list is updated.
