Assigning a custom role to an individual user

Assigning a custom Infor Smart Office role (that is, an Infor Smart Office role that has been created at your site) to an individual user is a two-step process in which, typically, the Infor Smart Office and security administrators share responsibilities.

First, the Infor Smart Office administrator creates the custom role (for example, customrole.xml) using the Infor Smart Office administration tool, Role Manager. Then, the security administrator updates the RM attribute, PortalRole, for a specific user entry with the name of the custom role file. It is important that the new custom role and RM attribute match so that the role can be assigned to a user. (Infor Smart Office roles can be assigned to a user when he or she is added to the Lawson system.)
