Creating and Configuring User Accounts and Roles

System administrators will likely want to create and configure their own User Accounts and Roles, for example, to conform with an LDAP authentication system or to limit access to resources such as JobScheduler objects and logs.

It is often easier to create a new Roles, assign Permissions or Folders to these Roles and then create new User Accounts and assign Roles to them.

Creating a new Role

  • New Roles are created in the Masters tab using the Create Role button:

  • Once a new Role has been created it will be automatically added to the list of Roles shown in the background of the screenshot above.

Configure Permissions and/or Folders for the Role

  • Now click on the Role name in the Roles List (blue link) to add Permissions and/or Folders in the Permissions tab. The Procedures available for adding and editing Permissions and Folders are described in the Editing User Permissions and Folders sections below.
    • Note that Roles that neither have Permissions or Folders assigned to them are deleted automatically when the Manage Accounts view is left.

Create a new User Account

  • After Permissions / Folders have been configured select the Accounts tab to create a new User Account and allocate one or more Roles to this Account.

  • The Edit Account function is accessed by clicking the relevant Action symbol (ellipsis) in the  Actions column of the User Accounts list (visible in the background of the above screenshot). This can be used to change the Password, the Account name and add or remove Roles. 
    • Note that deselecting a Role in this modal window 'uncouples' the Role from the User Account - it does not delete the Role.
