Roles

The IRC security controls are specified on the menu and page level. Roles determine the menu, sub-menu and pages a user can view, and utilize.

Role access control begins with these four main menus list:

  • Monitor
  • Manage
  • Design
  • Settings

A role can be set up to restrict a user's access to only one or two menus. For example, a user with General User role does not have access to the Settings menu, as the actions specified for the menu are not applicable for the type of user.

The sub-menus can also be restricted by role permissions. Effectively, a role can be set up to enable the user to view some, and not all, of the sub-menus that are generally available under a main menu. For example, the General User role can view the Design menu, and not the Import/Export sub-menu, as these actions are not applicable for the role.

The standard roles specified in IRC are preset, and cannot be modified. However, custom roles can be created to suit a company's security requirements. See the Online Help to create a custom role.
