ProcedureTo Configure Role Types to be Directly Assignable to Users

By default, only certain role types can be directly assigned to users. To change these settings, use the following steps.

Note –

It is a recommended best practice that you only directly assign Business Roles to users. See Using Role Types to Design Flexible Roles for more information.

To change which role types can be directly assigned to users, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Role configuration object for editing using the steps in Editing Waveset Configuration Objects.

  2. Locate the role object that corresponds to the role type that you want to edit.

    • To edit the IT Role, locate Object name=’ITRole’

    • To edit the Application Role, locate Object name=’ApplicationRole’

    • To edit the Asset Role, locate Object name=’AssetRole’

  3. Specify a set of instructions to update your configuration.

    Depending on how you want to update your configuration, choose one of the following:

    • To modify a role type so that it can be directly assigned to a user, locate the following userAssignment attribute inside the role object:


      <Attribute name=’userAssignment’>
        <Object/>
    </Attribute>

      And replace it with the following:


      <Attribute name=’userAssignment’>
        <Object>
            <Attribute name=’manual’ value=’true’/>
         </Object>
    </Attribute>

    • To modify a role type so that it cannot be directly assigned to a user, locate the userAssignment attribute inside the role object and delete the manual attribute as follows:


      <Attribute name=’userAssignment’>
        <Object>
        </Object>
    </Attribute>

  4. Save the Role configuration object. You do not need to restart your application servers in order for the changes to take effect.
