About the Access Role Editor

Use the Access Role Editor to define or update up to four interrelated rules through a single facility:

• Access roles (Rule-Access-Role-Name rule type)
• Access of Role to Object rules (Rule-Access-Role-Obj rule type)
• Privileges (Rule-Access-Privilege rule type)
• Settings (Rule-Access-Setting rule type)

The editor provides a unified approach to creating and updating the rule forms directly. The results are the same.

Starting the Access Role Editor

1. Select > Org & Security > Tools >Security > Role Names to view a list of all access roles in your system.
2. Click the access role name of interest to start the Access Role Editor.

Creating a new access role

1. Start the Access Role Editor.
2. Click  New.
3. Enter a role name in the form RuleSetName:RoleName. Choose a name that is unique system-wide.
4. Enter a text description in the Description field.
5. Choose a RuleSet and Version for all the rules to be created.

Updating an existing access role

To change the capabilities recorded in Access of Role to Object rules for one access role:
