Roles Page

OpenEMPI allows you to define roles that consist of a collection of permissions. There is a long list of permissions that you can grant to a user and the concept of a role allows you to group together a specific set of permissions that you want to treat as a functional role. You can then assign one or more roles to a user thereby eliminating the need to assign individual permissions to each user account that you create.

The Roles Management page lists all the roles that are currently defined in your instance, listing the name and description of each role that has been defined. Checking the box to the left of a role causes a button bar to emerge from the bottom of the screen that provides you with options to either edit or delete a role.

You can add a new role to your instance by pressing the “Add Role” button at the top right corner of the screen. Pressing the button will bring up the Add Role page shown below. Each role must have a unique name and an optional description. You must also assign at least one permission to a role by checking the checkbox to the left of each permission shown in the table.
