Configure The Role-Based Access Control For Users, Comodo, ITarian Endpoint Manager

Configure Role Based Access Control for Users

User privileges depend on the roles assigned to them. Admins can create roles with different access privileges and assign them to users as required. A single user can be assigned to any number of roles.

Staff created in ITarian can be added to any role for any company. This allows you to assign different roles to the same staff member for different companies.

You can restrict a role to specific companies/groups. Staff can only manage the devices of companies/groups allowed by their role.

You can also create roles with read-only privileges. These allow staff to view assigned interfaces but not make changes.

The role management area has two tabs:

Roles - View and edit each role's permissions. You can also create custom roles here.

Users - View users and assign them to roles

Roles

Each role defines a staff member's rights to access EM modules and to manage users/devices belonging to different companies. You can restrict a role to manage specific companies and specific device groups.

Endpoint Manager ships with four roles, 'Account Admin', 'Administrators', 'Technician' and 'Users'.

The 'Account Admin' role can be viewed but not edited. The permissions in the other three roles can be modified. You can also create custom roles according to your requirements.

Custom roles and built-in roles are available for selection when adding a new user.

Admins can add or remove roles at any time. You can also change the role of any user at any time.

New users are assigned the 'User' role by default. However, you have the option to make any role the default.
