9. Maintain Roles

The maintain roles section enables system administrators to create common groups of user privileges. Then, when new users are added, the users can be assigned to the user role they should belong to. Having user roles simplifies the process of adding new users into the system. The following screen will appear when you go to System > Maintain Roles:

List Roles

The List Roles screen displays information on all existing user roles, including role name and description.

CLOSE

Closes the screen, returning you to the application desktop.

NEW

Opens screen for creating a new user role.

EDIT

Enables you to edit highlighted user roles. The Edit screen is the same as that for creating a new user role—except that when editing, the fields will contain user role information. Double-clicking on a user role will also bring you to the Edit screen.

VIEW

Highlight a user role and then select this button to reach a read-only view of the Edit screen.

DELETE

Highlight a user role and then select this button to remove the user role from the list.
