Working With Roles

SBM Application Administrator offers multiple methods for assigning users and groups to roles:

To manage role assignments in multiple applications – Open the main Roles view from the Administrator Portal. For details, refer to Assigning Roles Across Applications.
To manage role assignments for specific projects – Edit a project, and then select the Roles tab. For details, refer to Assigning Roles for Specific Projects.
To manage role assignments for groups in one or more projects – Edit one or more groups, and then select the Roles tab. For details, refer to Assigning Groups to Roles.
To manage role assignments for users in one or more projects – Edit one or more user accounts, and then select the Roles tab. For details, refer to Assigning Users to Roles.

By default, a group or user inherits the role assignment specified for the parent project. You can override this inheritance by enabling a user or group for a role in a child project; the role is then assigned to that user or group for the current project regardless of the selections made for parent projects.

Note: To ease role maintenance, consider assigning roles at a parent project. This ensures role assignments are inherited throughout the project hierarchy.
