Basic Role Information

The most basic information about a role includes the name of the role (Role Name) and the administrative authority assigned to users assigned to the role.

The Role Name appears in the Configure program's tree view and also in the Roles list under the User's property panel. Role Names can contain letters, numbers, and spaces.

The Admin Level governs the administrative authority granted to users that are assigned to the role. The three available levels are:

No Administrative Authority
For normal users. The users are not able to create or modify users or roles or to change any other server settings.
Administer Users Only
For users that can create and modify users but cannot create or change roles or server settings.
Administer Users and Roles
For users that can create and modify users and roles but cannot change server settings. NOTE: Users with this admin level can potentially see and change the password of all users and can also delete any user account! Be extremely careful when granting any user this admin level!
Only the admin user is allowed to modify server settings. However using the Admin Level when defining roles allows an administrator to delegate the responsibility for defining users and roles to others. Generally, the Admin Level will be set to No Administrative Authority for almost all users.
