Adding a Role

To ensure your users only access the areas of Insite they are authorized to, you can create and assign them to roles.

Follow these steps to create a role:

  1. In the Navigation Panel, click Roles under Settings. If the menu is hidden, click The Settings icon..
  2. Click Add.

    Creating a new role for Robot admins.

  3. Enter a Name for the role you want to create.

  4. Enter a Description for the role.

  5. Select any security groups you want to add the role to. For example, if you create a role with permissions to the Robot Schedule production system (like in the image above), you could add a security group for all Robot Schedule users to it.

    NOTE: If you haven not created any security groups yet, see Security Groups.
  6. If you want to add users to the role (outside of users who are assigned to any security groups this role is a part of, as they will get this role's permissions automatically), type their username into the field or select them drop the drop-down.

  7. Click the products and areas of Insite you want to apply to this role. The current products and areas available are the following:

    NOTE: Some products will only display in the Authorized To list if there is an active Product Connection.
  8. Click Save.

When you are finished, the new role will show up on the Roles page.
