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.

Managing Roles

In most cases, the default Roles provided by Control Room should be sufficient to handle the typical access control requirements of an Organization. If default Roles aren't adequate to handle the organization's access control requirements, you can create custom Roles.
