(1) Adding a new user role

To add a new user role:

  1. In the Role window, click the Add button.
    The Add Role dialog box appears.
    • Role ID
      Specify a unique ID for each role. This item is mandatory.
    • Role name
      Specify a name for the new role. A role with the same name cannot be created more than once. When this item is omitted, the specified Role ID is set as the role name.
    • Managed label
      This item is set when accesses are to be limited by group level.
      For example, to enable the users covered by the new role to handle only the information that belongs to their section and subsections, set the same managed label as for the section. If no managed label has been set for a section, use the Group and User window to set managed labels. To cancel, click the Close button.
      For details about how to set access permissions by organization hierarchy, see the manual Job Management Partner 1/Asset Information Manager Planning and Setup Guide.
  2. Click the OK button.
    The new role is added based on the specified information.
    The added role is set to be able to access all job menus. To limit the accessible job menus, use the Customize Job Menu window.
    For details about using the Customize Job Menu window, see 10.8.4 Changing the executable jobs (Customize Job Menu).
    The following figure shows the Add Role dialog box in which the information to be registered is specified.
