Assigning Application-Defined Roles


Overview of Application Roles:

Application roles are predefined permissions set within the system to streamline user interactions based on their responsibilities. eCatalog comes equipped with a variety of built-in application roles such as Add, Edit, View, Contribute, and Full Control, designed to cater to common needs across various functionalities.


Custom Application Roles:

In addition to standard roles, eCatalog allows for the creation of custom roles tailored to specific groups or users. For example, the "View All Records" role enables assigned users to access all records in the system, a capability not available to users without this role. This flexibility ensures that unique organizational needs and security protocols are met efficiently.


How to Assign Roles:


  • Navigate to the user’s profile and click on the App Roles link. This action opens the roles assignment interface.
  • Here, you can assign or modify the user's roles. Choose from the list of available roles or search for specific roles that match the user's job requirements.
  • Confirm the selection to update the user’s roles, effectively tailoring their access and capabilities within the application.


This section helps ensure that users are equipped with the appropriate permissions to perform their tasks effectively, enhancing both productivity and security within the organization.
