Organization Roles

Organization Roles are supersets of permissions that are assigned to organizations, and they define the permissions that are available to organization users. For example, if an organization is assigned an Organization Role that has the Distribution tab hidden, users in that organization, including the Admin user, cannot access the Distribution tab.

NOTE: Organization Roles are available only on appliances with the Organization component enabled.

Default Role

The Default Role in the Organization Roles section has Write and Read permission for all tabs. You can create additional Organization Roles, but you cannot edit or delete the Default Role.

User Roles

Roles assigned to users to control their access to the Administrator Console and User Console. If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, the permissions available to these roles depends on the Organization Role assigned to the organization.

Administrator

The most powerful user role on the appliance. By default, users with the Administrator role have permission to see or change information and settings. This includes promoting or demoting other users by changing their roles. The Administrator role cannot be altered or deleted. Assign this role only to trusted administrators.

Staff members assigned the Administrator role have permission to manage and modify Service Desk tickets from the Tickets tab in the Administrator Console, though they might not be able to own tickets themselves.

Users with the Administrator role can also use the security, scripting, and distribution features to resolve Service Desk tickets, then document the issues in the Knowledge Base.

The Administrator role primarily interacts with the appliance through the Administrator Console.

No Access

Users with this role cannot log on to the Administrator Console or User Console.

User Console Only

This role is for appliance users. By default, this role has permission to create, view, and modify Service Desk tickets.
