User View

On the User view tab, you can map users to roles only. First you have to select a user and then you can add or remove the roles he/she is mapped to. It is also possible to do the mapping in the opposite direction - this can be done on the Role view tab.

Role Mapping dialogue for User View

The User view tab consists of four main elements:

• Available Users (A)

  The drop-down menu containing all available users from which one can be selected for the role assignment.

  To avoid inadvertent changes to the wrong user, this field is empty until a specific role has been selected (normally the first entry in the list would be displayed).

• Available Roles (B)

  This tab displays a list of roles available for mapping to the user selected from available Users.

• Main Controls (C)

  The following Main Controls are available:

  • Add

    Assigns the selected roles from the available Roles to the selected user.

  • Add all

    Assigns all roles from the available Roles to the selected user.

  • Remove

    Removes the roles selected in the Mapped Roles table from the selected user.

• Mapped Roles (D)

  This table displays all the roles the currently selected user is mapped to.

  It consists of two columns:

  • Role name

    Names of the mapped roles.

  • Mapped to

    The possible values here are: User - if the selected user is directly mapped to the role. Group [GROUP_NAME] - if the selected user is mapped to the role indirectly (through membership in a group).
