Assigning Management Roles

In EmpowerID, Management Roles are collections of "operational capabilities" that have been packaged together as job-based bundles to allow for the quick and easy bulk assignments of resources to resource users in a way that matches what they do in your organization. When you assign Management Roles to users, you give the assignees of that Management Role the ability to perform the operations and rights assigned to the Management Role. Management Roles can be assigned to individual people, Business Roles and Locations , groups and Query-Based Collections or SetGroups.

This topic demonstrates how to assign Management Roles to different types of users in EmpowerID and is divided into the following activities:

To assign Management Roles to People

  2. From the Management Role management page, search for the Management Role you want to assign and then click the Display Name link for that role.

    3. This directs you to the View One page for the Management Role. View One pages allow you to view details about an object in EmpowerID and make changes to those objects as needed.
