Cloud offers two mechanisms for defining which parts of your site can be seen or accessed by a user. Apart from regular roles and permissions, in which specific actions can be granted, there is also the possibility of defining asset scopes. With these scopes, you can allow users to access only certain parts of the asset inventory based on domain, asset type, installation or IP location.
Built-in roles
Roles can be found under Configuration > Account Management > Roles & Permissions. There are 5 built-in roles: Administrator, Analyze Data, Application Admin, Manage Assets, and View Data. Each role can be altered, duplicated or deleted.
Create a new role
- Browse to Configuration > Account Management > Roles & Permissions.
- Select Add new role and name your new role.
- Select the permissions to be included in the role.
- Once the permissions are set, save the role by selecting the Save
action button in the top right corner of the page.
Create a new scope
- Browse to Configuration > Account Management > Asset scopes.
- Select Add new asset scope.
- Fill in a name for the scope and set the conditions. Once you've created a scope, you'll need to assign it to a role.
Assign a scope to a role
- Browse to Configuration > Account Management > Roles & Permissions.
- Select the role you want to assign a scope to.
- Go to the Scopes > Asset scopes section and choose the scopes you want to assign to the role you are editing.
Assign an installation to a role
- Browse to Configuration > Account Management > Roles & Permissions.
- Select the role you want to assign an installation to.
- Go to the Scopes > Installations section and choose the installations you want to assign to the role you are editing.
