Security role to user and group mappings

Use this page to map security roles to users. We can map roles to specific users, to specific groups, or to different categories.

To view this administrative console page, click Application > Install New Application. While running the Application Installation Wizard, prompts appear to help you map security roles to users or groups. To change role to user or group mappings for deployed applications, click Application > Enterprise Application > deployed_application > Map security roles to users/groups.

To change the roles to users mapping, click Manage Application > application > Map security roles to users.

Roles

Specifies the roles to which you want to map users and groups. Role privileges give users and groups permission to run as specified.
