Work with Security Roles

You can add, delete, and change security roles in the system. Security roles typically define an employee’s job function, such as Operator, Supervisor, Lab Technician, Mixer Operator, Boiler Operator, or Control Engineer. Security role names are verified to ensure uniqueness. You can add new security roles to the security system at any time. You can assign as many security roles as you need.

To assign or edit a security role

1. Open the Security Editor dialog box.

2. On the Edit menu, click Security Roles.

   The Security Roles Editor dialog box appears.

   

3. In the Name box, type a security role (16 characters maximum).

4. In the Description box, optionally type a description (120 characters maximum).

5. Click Add or Change as appropriate.

To delete a security role

6. Select the security role.

7. Click Delete.

Note: When a security role is deleted, all users that are assigned that level have their security role assignment deleted. If a user does not have a security role, the user cannot obtain security clearance.
