Defining role mappings

Use this procedure to configure role mappings for a grid.

The grid role mapping is a way to transform existing groups, roles or usernames from the user repository into grid roles and grid application roles. Each session provider uses different methods to retrieve groups and roles (see How Roles Are Assigned to Users).

You can configure role mappings belonging to a particular application on a configuration manager page belonging to that application (a page with an application centric focus) or you may configure role mappings on a global page enabling you to operate on all application defined roles including the ones defined by the ION Grid itself (grid-admin, grid-poweruser, grid-user, and grid-all-app-admin). Which is best for you depends on the situation.
