The roles management screen is available regardless of whether your user management is with DPOD's internal database registry or LDAP.
The screen is accessible by clicking [Manage→Security→Roles] from The Navigation Bar.
There are two types of security roles available with DPOD:
- Custom Roles - defined by the administrator. These roles may be added, deleted or altered by a DPOD Administrator.
- Built-in Roles - these are DPOD's own built-in roles, which can not be added, deleted or altered.
The roles are used to provide a means for the administrator to filter the view users have of the system. Administrators can use the roles to filter out devices, domains, services, Client IP addresses, 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.
