Roles
Overview
Control Room utilizes an access control system based on Roles. Roles is a collection of Permissions. Roles represent the Permissions needed to access certain Control Room entities.
You can assign one or multiple Roles for Users to perform particular operations inside Control Room. Since Users are not assigned permissions directly but only acquire them through Roles, managing access control involves setting appropriate Roles for Users.
Permissions
The Control Room interface enables the selection of base permissions (View, Edit, Create, Delete) to the following entities.
- ProcessDefinitions
- Schedules
- Buddies
- Logs
- Jobs
- Users
- Roles
- Enterprise Variables
- Settings
- Smart Stations
- Lists
Default Roles
Control Room provides the following roles by default.
Note: You can view the permissions associated with default roles, but you are not allowed to change those permissions. You can create a custom role if the default roles are not satisfying your access control requirements.
Role | Description |
---|---|
Administrator | This is a SuperUser Role. The user with this Role has full access permissions to all the entities inside Control Room. |
Designer | The user with this Role can design and publish process automation into Control Room |
Member | The user with this Role can execute process automation and process the automation logs |
