Assign a Policy Role

You can assign a policy role to a user role to control which types of events the users can see. You can also assign policy roles to individual users.

To assign a policy role to a user role

  1. Click Tools, Manage User Roles.

    The Manage User Roles dialog displays.

  2. Click a user role.
  3. Verify that the Default Security Model for the user role is a policy-based security model, such as 'Policy (Standard)'.

    Note: You can only assign a policy role if the user role is already assigned to a policy-based security model.

  4. Choose a policy role from the Default Policy Role list.

To assign a policy role to an individual user

By default, an individual user inherits the policy role associated with their user role. But you can assign a different policy role to users.

  1. Right-click a user and choose Properties.

    Note: You can only assign a policy role if the user is already assigned to a policy-based security model.

  2. In the User Properties dialog, go to the Details tab.
  3. Choose a policy-based model from the Security Model list.
  4. Choose a policy role from the Policy Role list.
