Role Information tree nodes

This table describes each node in the Role Information tree in Access Control:

Node Description
Role Information (root node) Contains nodes for the roles defined for your agency. When you click this node, a grid is displayed on the right listing all the roles in the tree.
"Role Group" Node for a group of related roles, or for a newly defined role with no users. When you first add a role you can either add users to the role or add one child roles to create a role group.
"Role" Node for an access role. A role is a group of users and their access rights, or permissions. The permissions specify the Infor Public Sector features that users in the role can access. This node shows the name of the role and contains a Filters node, a Permissions node, and a Users node.
Filters Lists the database filters in place for users in the role. Shows any data filters defined for the selected role. To define data filters use the Schema Manager.
Licenses Used to associated user licenses with an access role.

See Adding licenses to a role.

Permissions Identifies all the Infor Public Sector features that users in the role can use. Node for a group of permissions assigned to a role. A permission is a right to access a particular Infor Public Sector feature or perform a particular action with your agency's records, such as the right to access the Employee Lookup or the right to create employee records. You determine access to Infor Public Sector by assigning specific permissions and users to roles. When you click this node, a grid is displayed on the right listing all the permissions granted to the role.
Users Identifies all users who belong to the role. A user can be in more than one role. When a user belongs to multiple roles, they are granted all permissions from all of those roles. For example, if Bob is in two roles, and one role grants permission to create service requests but the other role does not, then Bob can create service requests. Node for a group of users assigned to a role. A user is an employee authorized to sign in and use Infor Public Sector. Users are given a unique login ID, a license to use the software, and permissions to use specific Infor Public Sector features based on their assigned roles. When you click this node, a grid is displayed on the right listing all the users assigned to the role.
