Editing roles

Roles comprise sets of permissions that provide role-based access to the TrueSight Operations Management features, and are a required component of authorization profiles. Modifying the default roles to accommodate the requirements of your environment is an easy way to customize the default authorization profiles. Users with the Super Admin role can edit and delete all roles, including the default roles.

Default roles

You modify a role by adding and deleting permissions. You can also grant roles access to all or specific UI elements.  When editing a role, the Roles Details page shows the selected permissions and their corresponding categories in the TrueSight Infrastructure and TrueSight Presentation tables. Each table provides an action menu that you can use to change permissions for the category.
