====== Administration - Manage Roles and Permissions ====== Author: Colm Carew Each role should have a permission of 'gwt' and this should be a roles only permission in the Reporting Manager. \\ Each role has a unique name and each user can have multiple roles. \\ Roles are essentials names/tags assigned to users and reports to determine if a user can run/see a report. The keys icon is the Roles and Permissions icon. {{:onboarding:reportingmanager:managerolesofreportingmanager.png|}} Clicking on it will create a dialog like : {{:onboarding:reportingmanager:rolesandpermissiondialogreportingmanager.png|}} A role can be edited by double clicking on it : {{:onboarding:reportingmanager:editreportingmanagerrole.png|}} The name field is the main thing that can be edited but in general we tend not to delete/edit roles we mainly create new roles. {{:onboarding:reportingmanager:createrolereportingmanager.png|}} Again the name should be unique and the permissions it has must be 'gwt' ===== Assessment ===== Create a new role. Assign this role to a report and to a user. Ensure when logged in as that user you can see and run the report. Log in as a user without the role and ensure you cannot see the report.
