17.1 Browsing the Role Catalog

To browse the Role Catalog:

  1. Click Browse Role Catalog in the list of Role Management actions.

    The User Application displays the current list of roles in the Role Catalog.

    The columns in the assignment list table are described below:

    • The Role Name column provides the name of each role in the catalog.

    • The Level column indicates the level of the role within the catalog. By default, the catalog supports three levels with the following names:

      Level

      Description

      Business Role

      The highest level in the roles hierarchy.

      IT Role

      The middle level in the roles hierarchy.

      Permission Role

      The lowest level in the roles hierarchy.

    • The Categories column lists the categories associated with the role. Categories allow a business to organize the roles in the Role Catalog. Once a role has been associated with a category, it can be used as a filter when browsing the catalog.

  2. You can filter the list of roles, as follows:

    1. To view only those assignments that start with a particular string of characters, see Filtering Data for information about what to enter in the Role Name box.

    2. To view those roles that have a specific level in the hierarchy, select the desired level in the Levels box.

    3. To view those roles that have been associated with a particular category, select the desired category in the Categories box.

    4. To apply the filter criteria you’ve specified to the display, click Filter.

    5. To clear the currently specified filter criteria, click Reset.

  3. To set the maximum number of assignments displayed on each page, select a number in the Maximum rows per page drop-down list.

  4. To see the details for a particular role, click the role name in the Role Name column.

    The User Application takes you to the Manage Roles page, where you can view details of the role or make changes.
