Adding a Role

To perform tasks using FlexNet Operations, a user must have the appropriate permissions defined by the application. Permissions are not assigned to users directly; permissions are grouped into roles and FlexNet Operations users are assigned one or more roles.

Roles are either system-defined or user-defined. System-defined roles cannot be edited by any users; users assigned a role with the View and Manage Roles permission can view, add, and edit user-defined roles.

To add a user-defined role

1.

Click Accounts & Users > All Roles.

2.

Click Add Role.

3.

In the Add Role page:

a.

Enter the Name of the role, for example, User Management Administrator. A role is usually given the name of a type of user.

b.

Enter the Description of the role.

c.

In Type, select Producer if the role is intended for producer users, or Portal if the role is intended for End-User Portal users.

d.

Leave the Status of the role Active.

e.

Assign one or more permissions to the role.

4.

Click Save.

5.

Verify in the Roles page that the role was added.
