Adding and managing roles
A role is a set of activities that a user can perform. A user can have one or more roles, and every role is assigned one or more activity.
To manage and assign roles for user accounts from the TrueSight Capacity Optimization console, go to Administration > Users > Roles. The Roles page shows a summary table listing the currently defined user roles, their description, and the associated LDAP groups, if applicable. From this page you can add, edit, or delete user roles.
Each user can have different activities (access rights) associated with the user account. An activity can be, for example, the ability to create a new model or analysis, or the ability to configure a domain. A single user might need to perform several activities. Therefore, all privileges can be aggregated into custom groups called roles.
Default roles
Some default roles are available out-of-the-box when you install or upgrade to the current product version. For the list of default roles, see Default-users-and-user-groups.
