After you Create Management Role Definitions, the next step is to add Access Levels to it. In this way, when you create a child Management Role from the definition, that role will have an initial amount of access assigned to it. Without Access Levels, a Management Role Definition is a blank container. You can still use it as a base template for creating Management Roles, but those Management Roles will not grant any initial access to resources.

Although you can add also Access Levels to child Management Roles, adding as many as possible to a Management Role Definition before creating any child Management Roles allows you to build a consistent framework for general resource allocation based on user roles. Once you have added Access Level Assignments to a Management Role Definition, you can tailor child Management Roles with additional Resource Roles to meet the needs of your organization.

Assign Access Levels

  1. On the navbar, expand Role Management and select Management Roles.

  2. Select the Role Definitions tab and search for the role definition to which you want to assign Access Levels. 

  3. Click the Display Name link for the definition.


    This directs you to the View One page for the role definition. View One pages allow you to view and manage the objects to which they pertain.

  4. On the View One page, expand the Access Assignments accordion.

  5. Click the Add button.

    This opens the Grant Actor Access page. You use this page to select and scope the Access Levels you are assigning.
