Configuring role mappings
When you configure role mappings, you will need to select a role and the type of mapping (inclusive or exclusive) that you want to use. You perform this selection on the first role mapping page, which has the following columns:
Column | Description |
---|---|
Roles | The name of the role. |
Included Members | A list of included users/groups/roles that should be mapped into the grid role. Select the "Edit…" link to add or remove from this list. |
Excluded Members | A list of excluded users/groups/roles that should be mapped into the grid role. Select the "Edit…" link to add or remove from this list. |
Description | A description of the grid role. Hover over the string if it is too long to display in full. |
The included/excluded lists can be used to grant access to a subset of users in a group. Assume that group Alpha is granted access to grid-admin, and that group Beta is excluded from it. Any member of both Alpha and Beta will NOT get the grid-admin role. Only users that are members of Alpha but NOT Beta will be grid-admins. The included/excluded lists can contain both role names and individual users.
Any new role mappings are assigned at the next login. Already logged on users that would have the new roles will not get them until they first log out and log on again.
