Roles
Introduction
A Role is a set of access rules which is assigned to an operator to govern their authorization and
permission levels within victor. Effective role management enables complete control over the
resources and features users can access.
Be careful of the roles you give users on your system. If you add a user as an administrator, you
are granting them full system permissions.
Note
Before deleting roles, ensure they are not assigned to operators
Role Types
Canned Roles
There are five predefined (canned) roles, ready for assignment to users. Each of these roles, apart
from Administrator can be edited to refine them further. Canned roles are as follows (Descending
permission level):
• Administrator
• Power User
• Investigator
• Guard
• Viewer
Custom Roles
As well as using canned roles, you can create custom roles. This can be done using the ‘Save As’
feature which allows a current role to be used as a template to build a new role, or you can build a
completely new role manually.
Each new role created is available for selection when creating or editing operator profiles.
