11.3 Assigning Users to Roles

Assign users to one or more roles to reflect the functions they perform in the organization.

Combined with authorization schemes, these role assignments let your app tailor the user experience for each person automatically. As shown below, use the Application Access Control page under Shared Components to define roles and assign users to them. Notice every user has the Employee role, while:

  • ADINA also has the App Admin role
  • SUSAN also has the HR Rep role

Tip:

Your roles are part of the app definition you export and import into other environments. In contrast, the role assignments are not. By design, your role assignments in a particular target environment remain intact when importing a newer version of your app.
