Creating a Custom Role

To create a custom role:

2. From the submenu, click the Manage Roles link to display the Create Custom Role page.
3. In the Role Details section, specify the following information:
   • Role Name: The unique name to identify the new role. This name is used internally by AuthMinder for authenticating and authorizing this new role.
   • Role Display Name: The descriptive name of the role that appears on all other Administration Console pages and reports.
   • Role Description: The useful information that is related to the role for later reference.
   • Role Based On: The pre-existing role from which this custom role should be derived.
4. In the Set Privileges section:
   1. In the Available Privileges list, select all the permissions that you want to disable for the custom role.

      This list displays all the permissions available to the administrative role that you selected in the Role Based On field.

      Note: You can hold the Ctrl key to select more than one permission at a time.

   2. Click the > button to move the selected permissions to the Unavailable Privileges list.
5. Click Create to create the custom role.
