Roles Management
How to Create and Manage Roles in the CDM Web Application
Categories:
The Roles Management Interface allows administrators to define and organize roles within the CDM-Server.
On this page, you can create, view, and delete roles as needed, though roles cannot be updated once created. After creating roles, you can assign or remove groups to manage which users have specific access rights.
Creating a Role
- Click on the + button in the table header to open the Create Role dialog.
- Define the new role by selecting the Role Template and level in the organization’s tree (see RBAC integration).
- Click Save to add the role to the system. The new role will appear in the roles table.
Assigning and Removing Groups
Once a role has been selected, in the right panel of the Roles Management page, administrators can assign or remove groups as needed:
- Assign Groups: Click on the + button of the panel and select a one or more groups from the “search groups dialog” and add them to the selected role. This will grant all users in those groups the permissions defined by the role.
- Remove Groups: Click on the “trash” icon button once at least one group has been selected to detach it from the role. This action will revoke the permissions associated with that role for all the users of the group.
