EPM User Interface Roles

Note - You can only access this function if you have the Can access user management permissions. You can only add or update users or roles if you have the Can manage Roles and/or Can manage Users permission depending on the task you are carrying out. If you need to access these functions and do not have permission, please contact your system administrator.

To access EPM Solution features, a user must have user permissions. These are allocated to Roles which are then allocated to specific users.

The Settings and Users - Roles screen is designed to enable you to manage user permissions for a small number of users, across individual devices and comes with five default Roles:

Administrator - Default permissions, cannot be updated.
Engineer - Default permissions, cannot be updated.
Logged Out - The access level permitted without a user being logged in, see Configuring Logged Out Screens from the EPM User Interface for details.
Operator - Default permissions, cannot be updated.
Quality - Default permissions, cannot be updated.

See Role Permissions for details of the default permissions for these roles.

From the Roles screen, you can:

Display a list of all your roles, see Accessing the EPM User Interface Roles Screen for details.
Add new roles, see Configuring Roles from the EPM User Interface for details.
Edit the user permissions allocated to a role, see Viewing or Editing Roles from the EPM User Interface for details.

Note - The only default Role that can be updated is Logged Out.
