Assigning roles to a user

A user role is the name of a set of permissions that are needed by a particular group of users (such as data mining results reviewers). The application includes predefined user roles, which can be modified or added to by a superuser. When you create a user, you can assign one or more user roles to the user. (You can also explicitly assign individual permissions to the user.)

1.         Click Settings

The Settings page appears.

2.         In the Manage Users section, click Edit Users.

The Users page appears.

3.         Click the row menu (Row menu) for the user, and then click Edit. You can edit only users in the same login group as you.

The Edit User page appears.

4.         Click Assign Roles.

The Assign Roles page appears, listing all user roles.

5.         Select or deselect check boxes to assign roles to, or remove roles from, the user.

6.         Click Save.

The user is assigned the roles and their associated permissions. If you modified the user's roles and the user is currently running the application, the user is not affected by the changes. The changes take effect the next time the user logs in to Empirica Signal.
