After creating roles, you can assign them to the users in your organization. A user with an Administrator profilewill have access to all the data irrespective of the role assigned to the user.

  2. In the Users page, click the <User Name>.
  3. In the User Details page, click Edit.
  4. Select the specific Role from the lookup box.
  5. Click Save.

Edit Roles

You can modify the user roles as per changes in your organizational hierarchy. As part of the modification of the roles, you can perform the following:

  • Rename the role
  • Change the Superior Role
  • Change the setting for sharing data with Peers

While changing the role names, all the data sharing rules will be updated automatically. So you don't need to calculate the data sharing rules or update the user details.
