Create Business Roles

In EmpowerID, a Business Role is a user-defined hierarchical container for grouping people. You can also use it to delegate access to resources based on a person's job function within an organization, such as "Sales Representative" or "Contractor." You can create as many of these containers as needed for your organization.

To create new Business Roles

In the navigation sidebar, expand Role Management and click Business Roles and Locations.
From the Business Roles and Locations page, click the Actions tab, and then click Create Business Role.
From the General Tab of the Business Role Details form that appears, do the following:
1. Enter a name and description in the Name, Display Name and Description fields.
2. In the Icon field, enter the path to the icon to use for the Business Role.
3. Clear Is Assignable if you want to keep the Business Role from being assigned to users. Otherwise, leave it selected.
4. Select Do Not Allow Delete if you want to enable deletion of the Business Role from the Web interface. Otherwise, leave it unselected.
5. Below Parent Business Role, click the Select a Business Role link to open the Business Role Selector.
6. From the Business Role Selector, search for and select the appropriate Parent Business Role and click Save to close the Business Role Selector.
Optionally, click the Extension Tab and add the Job Code for the role, if applicable, and any other extension attributes you need.
