User_Roles
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. Create custom roles that can either view or configure specific Web console menu items and sub-items. You can also configure access to specific OfficeScan domains on the client tree for each role.
All built-in and custom roles display on the User Roles list on the Web console.
Only users with the built-in administrator role and those using the root account created during OfficeScan installation can configure roles and accounts.
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 users who want to view the Web console for reference purposes.
Users with the Guest User role cannot access the following menu items:
Scan Now for All Domains
Plug-in Manager
Administration > User Roles
Administration > User Accounts
Users have view access to all other menu items.
This role inherits the permissions and settings for the Power User role in OfficeScan 10. Users with this role have access to all client tree domains but will not have access to the new features in this release.
This role is only available if OfficeScan 10 servers upgrade to this version.
To configure the User Roles list: >>>
Administration > User Roles
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 or 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.
When importing and exporting roles:
- A role on the User Roles screen will be overwritten if you import a role with the same name.
- Importing and exporting roles can only be done between servers that use the same version. Importing/Exporting user roles from OfficeScan 10 to OfficeScan 10.5 might cause some inconsistencies between role privileges.
For roles with access to specific client tree domains:
OfficeScan only shows results from assigned domains
Users can only perform tasks or deploy settings to assigned domains
The following screens and features apply client tree domain settings:
