5.3.1. Role Privileges

It represents a company enforced policy. It takes precedence over all other security policies in the system.

For example, in a company the CEO will have permissions to view anything and everything. For this a role called CEO can be created and permission be given to add/edit/view/delete everything.

Define role policies only when you can say something like A can do anything or B can never do something. i.e no matter what the situation, a particular policy applies. Otherwise, you should use object policy.

How to set role privileges?

Note: Only users playing the role of administratorcan set role privileges.

  1. From the tool bar click SetupCompany

  2. Under the general section click Role privileges

  3. Use the delegate option when you want the object security policy to be consulted.

[Important]Important

If a user is playing two roles and a permission is granted for one role, but denied to the other (at the same level), then the permission is denied.
