Roles and menus of Transformation Services

A predefined hierarchy of roles exists for each functional area of the application. A role that is defined on a hierarchy level includes the permissions of roles on its subordinate hierarchy levels. A hierarchy level can include roles to access menu groups and menu items. This hierarchy of roles is defined for Transformation Services:

Table 1. Hierarchy of roles
Level 1 (System Admin)	Level 2 (Application-level User)	Level 3 (Standard-level End User)
`TFS`
`TFSAdmin`
	`TFSApplicationAdvice`
	`TFSBusinessFormatRule`
	`TFSCarrierMaster`
	`TFSCode`
	`TFSCodeList`
	`TFSContactMaster`
	`TFSCustomerMaster`
	`TFSExportImportGroup`
	`TFSExportPartnerID`
	`TFSImportPartnerID`
	`TFSItemMaster`
	`TFSJobManager`
	`TFSSequentialNumber`
	`TFSMasterDataGroup`
	`TFSMessageID`
	`TFSRegisteredEXS`
	`TFSShipToMaster`
	`TFSStyleSheet`
	`TFSSystemGroup`
	`TFSUser`
		`TFSCommonGroup`
		`TFSConfigurationGroup`
		`TFSMessage`
		`TFSMessageImport`
		`TFSMessageJournalGroup`
		`TFSOutputParameter`
		`TFSPartnerID`
		`TFSPrintJob`
		`TFSPrintRule`
		`TFSTransformationRule`

For example: The TFSAdmin role includes the permissions of the roles on hierarchy level 2 and 3. This role grants full access to configure and manage the message import, transformation, and export process in Transformation Services.

A role that is assigned to a user in the Security Administration grants access to menu items or menu groups of the functional areas. This table shows some examples of the permissions that are assigned to standard roles of Transformation Services:


Menu group	Menu item	Role
	Manage Messages	`TFSMessage`
	Import Messages	`TFSMessageImport`
	Application Advice	`TFSApplicationAdvice`
Configuration		`TFSConfigurationGroup`
	Message Formats	`TFSBusinessFormatRule`
	Message IDs	`TFSMessageID`
	Partner IDs	`TFSPartnerID`
	Transformation Rules	`TFSTransformationRule`
	Printing Definitions	`TFSPrintRule`
	Publishing Services	`TFSOutputParameter`
	Communications Registry	`TFSRegisteredEXS`
	Style Sheets	`TFSStyleSheet`
	Export Partner IDs	`TFSExportPartnerID`
	Import Partner IDs	`TFSImportPartnerID`

Note: To individually assign roles to Transformation Services users, consider assigning the required menu group roles that have the suffix "Group" in their names. For example, you assign the role TFSMessage to a user who manages messages. This user should also have the role TFSConfigurationGroup that grants access to the menu group .
