Adding Roles

To perform tasks using FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications, a user needs appropriate permissions that are defined in FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications. Permissions are not assigned to users directly: Permissions are grouped into roles and FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications users are assigned one or more roles.

Roles are either system-defined or user-defined. System-defined roles cannot be edited by any users; users assigned a role with the “View and Manage Roles” permission can view, add, and edit user-defined roles in their own context.

To add a user-defined role:

From the Admin tab, under Roles , click Create Role .
In the Add Role page:
Enter the Name of the role, for example, User Management Administrator. A role is usually given the name of a type of user.

Enter the Description of the role.
Leave the Status of the role Active.
Assign at least one permission to the role.
Click Save .
Verify in the Roles page that the role was added.
