Create an access role name rule by selecting Access Role Name from the Security category.

Use the format RuleSetName:RoleName when specifying an access role name; for example, Thorr:Administrator or Purchasing:Buyer. The key has one part:

Field

Description
Role Name

Enter an access role name. Choose a name that is unique system-wide, both in the current system and in other PRPC systems that may later host this application, and that contains one colon character.

TipAs a best practice to achieve such uniqueness, use a RuleSet name as the first part of a role name, followed by a colon and the specific role as the second part. This way, you and others can reuse the same second part in multiple applications while still keeping the full name unique.

Begin the name with a letter and use only alphanumeric, ampersand, dash characters, and a single colon.

Enter a RuleSet Name and version. This information is used only by the Archive tools, not for rule resolution.

Access of Role to Object rules

For standard access roles such as PegaRULES:SysArch4 or PegaRULES:User4, PRPC includes corresponding standard Access of Role to Object rules, including a rule for @baseclass. If you create access roles, be sure to create a last-resort Access of Role to Object rule at @baseclass for that access role, so that the class inheritance search always ends successfully.

Rule resolution

Rule resolution does not apply to Access Role Name rules. Your system can contain at most one Access Role Name with a specific name.
