Role Maintenance
- create a user role
- edit a role
- deactivate a role without removing it from the system
- delete a role (???), can a role be deleted, how?
You must create a new role and assign one or more permissions to that role before the role can be assigned to a user.
Each record in this table represents a single role. Each role may have one or more permissions assigned to it.
Role data is saved in several database tables. See User Definitions
for more information on tables, fields and definitions.
Role Maintenance Screen
The Role Maintenance screen provides a way to define roles and attach permissions to those roles.
Notice the Copy Role and Compare Roles links which provide additional functionality.
