The screen is accessible by clicking [Manage→Security→Roles] from The Navigation Bar.

The security roles management screen is always available, regardless of whether the system is managing users using DPOD internal database registry or LDAP. |
Security roles are used to provide a means for the administrator to limit the functionality and filter the view users have of the system. For example, administrators can use the roles to limit a user for view-only functionality, as well as filter out devices, domains, services, client IP addresses, APIs, payload and more from a user's view, thereby providing each user with insights to only the parts of the system they are allowed to access.
There are two types of security roles available with DPOD:
- Built-in Roles - DPOD's pre-defined roles, which can not be added, deleted or altered.
- Custom Roles - defined by the administrator, and may be added, deleted or altered by a DPOD administrator.
For a detailed explanation about security roles, see Role Based Access Control.
