Managing administrative roles

Top  Previous  Next

Administrative roles are a way for you to restrict administrative access to areas of the application using domain, module and tagged data as criteria.  For example, you may wish to create an administrative role that allows an administrator to only see Triggers for a specific domain.  Another example might be an administrative role that limits the Users that an administrator can see to those tagged users within a specific geographic region.  Administrative roles may be managed from the Roles tab in the administrative user interface.

Domain Permissions
