Review Role Assignments

You can use the Security Console to either view the roles assigned to a user, or to identify the users who have a specific role.

You must have the IT Security Manager job role to perform these tasks.

View the Roles Assigned to a User

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Security Console.

  2. On the Roles tab, search for and select the user.

    Depending on the enterprise setting, either a table or a graphical representation of the user's role hierarchy appears. Switch to the graphical representation if necessary to see the user and any roles that the user inherits directly. User and role names appear on hover. To expand an inherited role:

    1. Select the role and right-click.

    2. Select Expand. Repeat these steps as required to move down the hierarchy.

Tip: Switch to the table to see the complete role hierarchy at once. You can export the details to Microsoft Excel from this view.

Identify Users Who Have a Specific Role

Follow these steps:

  1. On the Roles tab of the Security Console, search for and select the role.

  2. Depending on the enterprise setting, either a table or a graphical representation of the role hierarchy appears. Switch to the graphical representation if it doesn't appear by default.

  3. Set Expand Toward to Users.

    Tip: Set the Expand Toward option to control the direction of the graph. You can move either up the hierarchy from the selected role (toward users) or down the hierarchy from the selected role (toward privileges).

    In the refreshed graph, user names appear on hover. Users may inherit roles either directly or indirectly from other roles. Expand a role to view its hierarchy.

  4. In the Legend, click the Tabular View icon for the User icon. The table lists all users who have the role. You can export this information to Microsoft Excel.
