Copy a role

If you have a role with complicated settings and/or permissions and need a similar or almost similar role, it might be easier to copy the already existing role and make minor adjustments to the copy than to creating a new role from scratch.

  1. Expand Security, click Roles, right-click the relevant role and select Copy Role.

  2. In the dialog box that opens, give the copied role a new unique name and description.

  3. Click OK.

Rename a role

If you rename a role, this does not change the name of the view group based upon the role.

  1. Expand Security, and right-click Roles.

  2. Right-click required role and select Rename Role.

  3. In the dialog box that opens, change the name of the role.

  4. Click OK.

Delete a role
  1. Expand Security, and click Roles.

  2. Right-click the unwanted role and select Delete Role.

  3. Click Yes.

Important

If you delete a role, this does not delete the view group based upon the role.
