User Defined Roles

To access this page, click on the icon available in the Admin tab. Then, select the Roles option in the User Management tile. To view the list of user defined roles, click on the USER DEFINED ROLES tab. The roles that are defined by the user and the users assigned to the role will be listed in this page.

To add a new role, click on the Add New Role button in this page. Unlike the default roles, such user-defined roles can be deleted using this icon () that will appear against the role name in this page, and can also be modified using this icon (). However, note that if any of the user-configured roles have been assigned to any new user registered with the eG Enterprise, then such roles cannot be deleted; therefore this icon () corresponding to such roles will be disabled. To add a new user to the existing role, click on this icon Add User icon ().

If too many roles are listed in this page, you can quickly search for a particular role using the Search text box in this page. Specify the whole/part of the role name to search for in the Search text box, and click the right-arrow button adjacent to it. All role names that embed the specified string will then appear in this page.

If you also want to view the users who have been assigned each of the roles, click on the Show all users button at the top of the role list in this page. Upon clicking this button, every role listed in this page will be accompanied by the names of users who have been assigned that role. On the other hand, if you want to know which users have been assigned a particular role, simply click on the Show users button corresponding to that role. Note that the ‘Show Users’ button will appear only against those roles that have been assigned to users. Clicking on a user name here will lead you to the CHANGE USERS PROFILE page, using which you can modify the profile of that user. To hide the users list that accompanies all roles, click on the Hide all users link at the top of the role list. To hide the users list for a specific role alone, click on the Hide users button corresponding to that role. To add a new user and assign one of the roles to that user, just click on the Add Users button corresponding to that role; this will lead you to the ADD NEW USER page using which you can create a new user who is automatically assigned that role.
