Add or edit a Delegated role

Administration Security Roles Roles view Role form

A Delegated role (on page 1) is a role that you create specifically to allow other users to create their own users and roles. When you assign a delegated role to a user, the user is called a delegated user. The delegated user can, in turn, create users and assign those privileges to them. Just as with a regular role, you use the Role form to add or edit a Delegated role.

To add a delegated role:

1. In the Roles view (on page 1), click .

N4 displays the Role form.

2. Enter a unique Role Name.

Choose a name that is short and clear.

3. Optionally, enter the Role Description.

4. Select the Is Delegated check box.

When you select the Is Delegated check box, N4 includes the EDIT_ROLE (Role Edit) and EDIT_USERS (Users Edit) privileges, internally. You cannot view or change these privileges from the Role form.

5. Include or exclude privileges (on page 1) for the role.

The Excluded field displays the privileges available in the system that you can add to the role. The Included field displays the privileges already included in the role.

Since a user with a Delegated role can create new users, ensure that you include only those privileges in the Delegated role that you want the Delegated user with that role to be able to assign to any new user accounts that they add.

6. Click Save.

To edit an existing delegated role:

1. In the Roles view, select the delegated role that you want to edit.

2. Click .

3. N4 displays the Role form. Use this form to edit the details of the user role.

You can also double-click a user role to display the Role form.
