Rights and roles in the CIS environment

In a CIS environment, roles, rights, and domains are used to control the tasks that users can perform. User access to the pages (plugins) of the CIS Administration application and the tasks that a user can perform depend on the roles assigned to a user and the rights assigned to the role.

The process for providing users with specific roles and rights to perform tasks in the CIS environment includes:

Creating and modifying roles.
Granting rights for a specific role.
Associating users with roles for one or more domains.
Using domains to group roles for specific adapters.

CIS includes the following default roles for the Synchronization pages:

Administrator—Allowed to perform all operations in the CIS environment.
Power user—Allowed to perform most daily operations including monitoring and operations that can impact the entire system. For example, this user can add and remove a reference to a Clintrial database instance, change protocols, or set up a database connection for an adapter.
User—Allowed to view the system state but cannot make changes.

CIS central administration includes the following default roles for the administration pages:

Security Admin—View and modify security pages.
Config Admin—View and modify adapters, pages (plugins), security configuration, and general configuration.
Adapter User—View a list of adapters and use adapters.

CIS includes the System User Role, a default role that gives the rights to perform any platform-based tasks. The System User Role does not provide any CIS-specific rights.
