Summary

This article explains how to use the rights manager to assign rights to other roles.

The Rights Manager allows a user with an Administrator role to assign application rights to other defined user roles. All applications within the Website Host level contain access rights. This allows the Administrator to define the tasks each role can perform within each application. A role can also be denied access to an entire application.

There are two ways to get to the Rights Manager. The Rights Manager can be accessed through the Role Manager application by using the Grant or Revoke Rights link in the Define Rights box located in the right column.

The application can also be accessed by selecting Rights Manager from the Website Host menu.

Assigning rights to a role requires the following steps:

1. Select the desired role using the drop-down menu in the Change Role box located below the Sign In Status window in the right column.

2. Expand the panel(s) for the desired application(s).

3. Either check or uncheck the box next to each right to grant (check) or revoke (uncheck).

4. When done, click Save Rights to apply the changes.

In most cases, when a right is not granted to a role, users that are assigned that role will not even see the associated functionality. For example, when the Delete Form right in the Form Builder application is not granted, Delete is not displayed in the Existing Forms data table; the entire column is hidden from view for that role.

When a role is created or edited, the final step is to assign that role to a user. That task is accomplished from the Website Host menu using User Manager.
