Manage User Roles

Each user in CA Data Protection is assigned to a user role, for example, Administrator, Manager, or User. The user role determines the default set of administrative privileges assigned to the user and their security model.

You can redefine, rename and create user roles if you have the Admin: Edit user roles privilege.

If you change the default set of privileges assigned to a user role, CA Data Protection automatically updates the privileges of all users in that role. For example, if you add a privilege to the Manager role, all users in the Manager role are automatically granted the new privilege.

Note: If future versions of CA Data Protection introduce new privileges to a default role, these privileges are granted automatically to all users assigned to that role when you upgrade CA Data Protection.

To redefine a role

1. Click Tools, Manage User Roles.
2. In the Manage User Roles dialog, select the role that you want to edit.
3. If required, you can:
   • Rename the role.
   • Assign or remove administrative privileges.
   • Set the default security model.
   • Set the default policy model.

To create a new role

1. Click Tools, Manage User Roles.
2. Click New to display the Create New User Role dialog.
   1. Enter a name for the new role.
   2. Specify which existing role you want to copy from.

      The administrative privileges assigned to the existing role are copied to the new role.

   3. Click OK to close the dialog.

      The new user role is created.

3. If required, modify the administrative privileges and default security model assigned to the new role.
