Editing user roles and permissions

You can change the permissions that are associated with any Alta Surveillance role. If none of the predefined roles provide the exact set of permissions you want to assign to users, you can custom create new roles. You can rename them and change their descriptions. However, you cannot rename any predefined role. Veritas recommends creating new roles instead of altering any predefined role's permissions.

Note:

You must have the Manage Roles and the Grant Users Access permissions to create roles. By default, users that have the App User Admin Alta Surveillance have this permission.

To edit a user Alta Surveillance and permissions

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Application.
  2. In the Alta Surveillances tab, select a Alta Surveillance to which you want to add or remove permissions, and then click Edit Alta Surveillance.

    The Edit Alta Surveillance dialog box appears.

  3. In the Name and Description fields, type a unique name and an optional description for the Alta Surveillance respectively.

    Note:

    The Alta Surveillance name can contain up to 50 characters. The description can contain up to 250 characters.

  4. In the Scope field, do any of the following:

    • To allow the department-level permissions, select the Department option.

    • To allow the application-level permissions, select the Application option.

  5. Under the Permission section, in the Allow column, do the following:

    • Select the required associated permissions effective at the department level.

    • Unselect (clear) the permissions that are not required anymore to be associated with this role.

  6. Click Save.
  7. Re-log in the user who is assigned the role that had been edited.
