Privileges and Roles Overview
You manage user security with privileges and roles.
Privileges
You assign privileges to users and groups for application services. You can assign different privileges to a user for each application service of the same service type.
You assign privileges to users and groups on the Security tab of the Administrator tool.
The Administrator tool organizes privileges into levels. A privilege is listed below the privilege that it includes. Some privileges include other privileges. When you assign a privilege to users and groups, the Administrator tool also assigns any included privileges.
Privilege Groups
The domain and application service privileges are organized into privilege groups. A privilege group is an organization of privileges that define common user actions. For example, the domain privileges include the following privilege groups:
Tip: When you assign privileges to users and user groups, you can select a privilege group to assign all privileges in the group.
Roles
A role is a collection of privileges that you assign to a user or group. Each user within an organization has a specific role, whether the user is a developer, administrator, basic user, or advanced user.
You assign a role to users and groups for the domain and for application services in the domain.
