Managing Roles

Roles can be associated with each application navigator entry to restrict which users will have access to the application through the application navigator menus outside of Retail Home. Users who do not have access to the application will not see it in the application navigator menus.

Enabling Roles

Roles are disabled by default and all users will see links to all applications in the application navigator menus. Use the Enable Roles button in the table toolbar to enable role mappings.

Mapping Roles to Applications

Mapping roles to applications is accomplished through the upload of a CSV formatted file containing a mapping of applications to roles. The CSV file is required to have columns “App Name" and “Role Name". Any other columns included in the file will be ignored. The “App Name" column should contain the name of the application currently shown in the Application Name column. The keyword “all" may be used in the “App Name" column in place of an application name to map a role to all applications currently in the table. The “Role Name" column should contain a valid enterprise role name.

Importing a Role Mapping

Import the role mapping CSV file using the Import Role Mapping button on the table toolbar. A successful import will replace the role mappings for all applications currently managed in Retail Home.
