A user role determines the Web console menu items accessible to a user. OfficeScan comes with a set of built-in user roles that you cannot modify or delete. Add custom roles if none of the built-in roles meet your requirement. Configure each custom role to have "view" or "configure" access to specific Web console menu items and sub-items.
All built-in and custom roles display on the User Roles list on the Web console.
Access to specific OfficeScan domains on the client tree cannot be controlled for each role. If the client tree is visible, all domains display.
The built-in roles are as follows:
Users with the Administrator role can configure all menu items. Delegate this role to other OfficeScan administrators or users with sufficient knowledge of OfficeScan.
Delegate this role to administrators with specific administrative tasks on the Web console.
Users with the Power User role can configure the following menu items and sub-items:
Networked Computers > Client Installation
This menu item provides users with two methods of installing the OfficeScan client. For details, see Installing from the OfficeScan Web Console and Initiating Browser-based Installation.
Networked Computers > Firewall
This menu item allows users to manage firewall policies and profiles. For details, see Firewall Policies and Profiles.
Logs
This menu item allows users to view and manage logs. For details, see Managing Logs.
Scan Now (located on top of the main menu)

To add a custom role, click Add. If a role you want to add has similar settings with an existing custom role, select the role and click Copy.
To modify a custom role, click the role name.
A role configuration screen appears. See Adding and Modifying a Custom Role for more information.
To delete a custom role, select the check box next to the role and click Delete.
To save custom roles to a .dat file, select the custom roles and click Export. If you are managing another OfficeScan server, use the .dat file to import custom roles to that server.
If you have saved custom roles from a different OfficeScan server and want to import those roles into the current OfficeScan server, click Import and locate the .dat file containing the custom roles.
A role on the User Roles screen will be overwritten if you import a role with the same name.
