We know how important it is for your company to have full command over security. Systems administrators have more flexibility to manage security roles as necessary for your specific needs.  

 

Administrators now have the ability to manage security roles from their admin dashboard. This exposes allowable privileges within each role and gives the ability for a system administrator to make adjustments to these roles. In future security roles updates, additional privileges will be added as they become available. 

 

Systems administrators have the ability to edit privileges of existing system roles and create new roles at both the company and project level.  Go to the organization section of Riskcast. 

 

 

Within that section, click on the "Security Roles" button. 

 

 

By default, a list of existing roles is shown.

 

Adding A New Role

 

To add a new role, click the "+" button in the top right corner. The first thing to decide is what kind of role you want to create. If the role is something that needs to be used company wide, then select "Company" for Role Type and give the role a name and description. This will create a new role that is usable across the company.

 

 

If you need a role specific to a project for a unique security situation, select the Role Type as "Project" instead. Note, a new field (Project) will appear that you need to select. This role will only be available to be assigned to a user that has access to that specific Project. 

 

 

To actually enable privileges, you can either "copy from role" which allows you to start with a template and make modifications or you can go through each tool and assign privileges to the role. To copy a role, click the "Copy From Role" option, then select a role to copy and click save. 

 

 

The privileges will be selected based on the role that was copied. You can scroll through to modify the privileges as needed. When you are done, click the Save button in the top right corner. 

 

 

You will be redirected back to the security roles list where you can view the role and make additional roles as needed.  From this screen, you can also edit an existing permission level (whether it is a system role or one you or another administrator created). 

 

Editing an Existing Role

 

To edit a role, click the green pencil button to the left of the role. 

 

 

To edit the actual privileges, click on the privileges section of the screen. This will expand the privileges so you can see what this role has access to. 

 

 

Make any changes needed by toggling privileges on or off and then click the save button in the top right corner to save your changes. This will update all existing users who have this role assigned to them. 

 

 

If you want to modify the name of the role, click the "Edit Role Info" option within the edit role screen. 

 

 

A pop up window will appear. Edit the role name or description and then click save.
