Editing a Role

The following section describes how to change the predefined permissions of a Role to customize it further. It also explains how to duplicate a Role to create a new Role and how to delete it.

The database templates in ActivityInfo come with some predefined Roles. The predefined Roles define the type of Permissions a user will have to the Database/Folder/Form they have been added to.

You can:

  • Rename a Role
  • Duplicate a Role
  • Delete a Role
  • Change the Permissions of a Role

You might want to change the Permissions that come with a Role to better meet your needs.

Please keep in mind that when you change the Permissions that correspond to a Role then this will apply to all the users that have been assigned with that Role.

Take a look at the available Templates and Roles.

 You will not be able to delete a Role if it has already been assigned to a user.
