After roles are created you then can assign job roles to specific users through User Maintenance or through Role Maintenance.
Note: You can mass load a job role to user records.
To assign job roles through User Maintenance:
From the System > System Files > User Control menu, select User Maintenance to display the User Maintenance window.
Note: You must be assigned the USER.MAINT.ALLOWED authorization key to access this window.
In the User field, enter the user for which you want to assign one or more roles.
In the Roles & Menus area, use the following to define for this user the roles from which the system should inherit and apply menus and authorizations:
Field | Description |
Role(s) | Select one or more roles to apply to the displayed user's account. |
Override User Settings with Role Settings | Select to make the role settings take precedence over the user-level settings. |
Default Menu | The menu name that determines the system programs to which the user should have access. MAIN includes all system menus and is appropriate for the highest-level administrative user. To limit the functions available to different user groups within your company, create custom menus. Note: You must assign a main-level menu as a user's root menu. You cannot assign a submenu. |
Solar Override Menu | The menu selected in this field is merged with any role menus selected. If you want this user's account to display a different Solar menu from the one displayed in Eterm, enter that menu in this field. If this field is left blank, both Solar and Eterm use the same menu based on any roles or the menu selected in the Default Menu field. |
