Control Page Access by Role

Show or hide pages or parts of a page to a user by specifying the page elements that their role has access to.

You can specify access levels to an application page and also to the elements of the page such as sections, fields, and action buttons.

Here's how to set up page access:

1. Sign in as IT Security Manager.

2. From Student Central, click Search and search for Application Access.

3. Click Pages.

4. Locate the page you want to specify the access permissions for, click the ellipses in that row, and click Assign Page Access to Roles.

5. In the Role Name column, select the role you're specifying the permissions for.

6. If it's a custom role, click the Page Access by Role option to automatically assign default access for all delivered page elements to that role. You can further modify permissions for the page elements if needed.

7. Expand the Page Elements list, and for each page element, click inside the Permissions field, and select the permissions. If the page elements aren't displayed, ensure that the Page Access toggle is set to show the elements. You can specify permissions for as many roles as you need to.

8. When you're done, click Save.

Global Data Profiles

When the security administrator assigns page access to a role, they will also see default data access for the page assigned to the role. Define default data access by assigning global data profiles, associated with the business objects on the page, to the role.

Here's how to review global data profile assignments to a predefined role:

1. Sign in as IT Security Manager.

2. From Student Central, click Search and search for Application Access.

3. Click the Roles tab.

4. Click Yes in the Predefined filter to list only predefined roles.

5. Select a predefined role Name.

6. On the Assigned Data Profiles tab, you can see the global data profiles seeded for the role.

Bulk Assignment

Security administrators can assign default page and data access for multiple pages to multiple roles.

Here's how to assign pages access to roles in bulk:

1. Sign in as IT Security Manager.

2. From Student Central, click Search and search for Application Access.

3. Click Pages.

4. Click the Assign Bulk Access to Roles button.

5. Search for, add, and remove roles, role groups, pages, and page groups on the Assign Bulk Access to Roles page: Assign Access tab.

6. When you're done, click Assign to create a bulk assignment request.

7. Monitor its progress on the Active Assignment Requests tab, or download a log to review the assignments that were made.
