Modify the rights for a role within an area

Once a role is created and rights are configured, an administrator updates the rights for a role within an area.

To modify the rights for a role within an area, follow these steps:

1. Click System Administration > Security > Roles.
2. Add optional search criteria and then click Search to find the role you want to modify.
3. Select the role, and then select the area that you want to modify.

4. Make the changes you want for default rights, folders, and settings.

   Note The values for the "update" and "delete/close" rights of security areas are given the following priorities (from highest to lowest):

   • Always
   • When assigned to workgroup
   • When assigned
   • Never

   Higher values include the permissions of lower values. For example, if you select "When assigned to workgroup," the role will also have the permissions associated with "When assigned."

   If you are assigned two security roles, and if these two roles have different values for the same right in the same area, the higher value will override the lower one. For example, if one role has a right set to "When assigned to workgroup" and another role has the same right set to "When assigned," then you have the "When assigned to workgroup" permissions for this right.

5. Click Save & Exit.
6. For any other area, repeat steps 3 through 5 to update the rights for the selected role.
