Modifying roles

We can modify roles that allow users or other roles to use managed resources, depending on their membership in the role.

Determine the effects of the change. For example, determine whether changing the scope or the filter definition for a dynamic role correctly limits or expands which users can access resources.

  1. From the navigation tree, click Manage Roles.

  2. On the Manage Roles page:

    1. Enter information about the role in the Search information field.

    2. In the Search by field, specify whether to search against role names or descriptions, or against business units, and then click Search. A list of roles that match the search criteria is displayed.

    3. In the Roles table, click the icon (Twistie) next to the role that to modify, and then click Change. The Change Role wizard is displayed.

  3. On the Change Role wizard, edit or modify the existing information on each corresponding page for the role. The pages vary, depending on whether we specify a static or a dynamic role. On the Access Information page, you can provide owner information and other access information such access type, name, description, search terms, or badges.

  4. Click OK when we are done specifying all the expected information on one or all the pages.
