Manage Role Permissions

As an Administrative user, you can search for, add, edit, and remove user role permissions.

Overview

With user role permission settings, you can control access to viewing data and completing actions by establishing permissions associated with the Student, Guest, and Admin role categories. The role permission management features are:

• The ability to create multiple roles with the same Role Category. For example:
  • An administrator with view only access and an administrator super user with complete access.
  • A guest (parent) with FAFSA Parent Delegate access and a guest (parent) with Non-FAFSA Parent Delegate access.

• Assign appropriate permissions to the selected role. For example, a Student role can’t have permission to manage the student portal self-service settings.

In addition to managing role permissions through the Self-service UI, you can establish newly defined roles via SAML. For more information about role permissions to control access to the Student Self-service, see:
