Creating Management Role Definitions

In EmpowerID, Management Role Definitions are collections of "operational capabilities" and or native system rights that have been packaged together as job-based bundles that can be used as templates when creating Management Roles. In this model, Management Role Definitions do not grant people the ability to do anything in EmpowerID, and, in fact, cannot be assigned to anyone. Rather, Management Role Definitions provide a baseline of functions that can be further defined in any child Management Role. EmpowerID provides a number of Management Role Definitions out of the box, however you can create new ones as needed to meet the needs of your organization.

This topic demonstrates how to create a Management Role Definition and is divided into the following activities:
