Also, if you click the name of the user, an overview of the various roles assigned, and privileges granted to the user is displayed as shown in the following figure.
Figure 333: View roles and privileges granted to a user
Currently, no roles are granted to the user. Once the roles are granted, all the roles and privileges associated with the role will be displayed.
This is a read only page, that is, a user can only view a combination of privileges the user has as part of the roles. The role will be assigned as explained in Adding a New Role section. Only a superuser user can grant privileges based on the role as mentioned in the Granting Catalog Level and Catalog Independent Privileges section. |
Granting a Role to a User
You can grant roles to a user individually once the user is added in the User Manager page. However, you can grant a role here only if you have the privileges provided. You need to first create a role and then assign it to a user. Refer to the User Role Management section to understand how to add, edit, delete a role. Here, we will understand how to grant a role to a user assuming the role is already created.
To grant role to a user:
Select the user to whom you need to assign a role.
Click Grant to grant access to a user and the following screen appears.
Figure 334: Grant a role to the user
The Selected Role(s) panel displays the list of roles already assigned to the user. These roles have been assigned to a group and hence they cannot be revoked and are disabled. Refer User Group Management section to understand about user groups and its features.
You can assign roles from the list of Available Role(s) displayed on the left panel. For example, let us assign the SKU Admin and Test role here.
Follow steps 2,3 and 4 as mentioned in Granting Roles to the User Group section as the procedure is the same. Here, we are assigning roles to individual users instead of a group.
Once the role is granted, the list of roles granted to a user is visible as shown below.
Figure 335: View roles granted to a user
As shown in the figure above, the roles Test and SKU Admin have been assigned.
Hence, it cannot be revoked. You can revoke access for the role Test that is assigned individually to a user.
Revoking a Role Assigned to User
To revoke a role assigned to a user:
Select the user and then click the Revoke Access
icon next to the role. The following screen appears.
Click Yes and the role is revoked successfully from the user.
NOTE | To revoke a role that is assigned from a group, you need to revoke the role from the group itself as mentioned in Revoking a Role section. Once the role is revoked from the group, it is automatically revoked from the user also. |
