Role Management

A role is a security group which may or may not have access to specific user interfaces or system resources based on your security model.

A role can have a series of users who are provided with the security model defined by the given role.

Refer to the access control section for details on how to define your security model.

The user interface

The role management user interface resides in the Corteza Admin web application, under system roles.
