Assign a Search Profile to a Role

If you assign a search profile to a role, then you can restrict the searches that users assigned to the role can perform. If the user does not have any role with a search profile, then the user is subject to the default search profile (if one is defined).

To assign a search profile to a role

1. Add the dxRoleBasedConfig auxiliary object class to the group.
2. Add the attribute dxAllowSearch to the role, and for the attribute value give a search profile name.

   Any user assigned to that role is now restricted to searches allowed by that search profile unless the search is allowed by another search profile that also applies to that user.
