How Using Role Profiles Makes Setting Up User Profiles Easier

Roles eliminate the need to set up preferences for each individual user profile. By assigning individual users to a role, you can assign preferences to the role and have those settings available to all of the individual users who have that role. We recommend creating all role profiles that are needed for the enterprise first. This method makes creating user profiles easier; instead of defining specific environments, packages, and machine configurations for each user, administrators can define them for the role. If an individual in a role needs a different setup, you can assign different setups at the user profile level, which overrides the role settings.

EnterpriseOne uses roles for these purposes:

• Creation of sign-in security records.

• Authorization security, which determines the EnterpriseOne applications and features uses can access.

• Environments.

• User overrides.
