Management Roles for Groups
- Phillip Hanegan
EmpowerID restricts access to accounts and groups through the use of Management Roles. To view and work with accounts and groups users must be assigned to the appropriate roles. Management Roles are prefixed by their function in EmpowerID and include the following:
UI – Management Roles prefixed with UI grant users access to specific UI elements in the EmpowerID Web interface.
VIS – Management Roles prefixed with VIS grant users the ability to see specific objects in EmpowerID.
ACT – Management Roles prefixed with ACT grant users the ability to manage specific objects in EmpowerID.
To manage the group assignments of user accounts, users need to have a combination of the following Management Role assignments (based on the needed scope).
Accounts can only be added to groups that belong to the same domain.
