5.4 Manage System roles

Roles provide access to features of the Micro Focus Secure Messaging Gateway system to users, and controls the actions of role dependent features found throughout the system. System roles are predefined and cannot be edited, added or removed.

Importantly for systems that utilize the multi-tenant functionality of Micro Focus Secure Messaging Gateway, system roles must be inherited from the root level of the system. If a role is not made available to a child OU, none of the deeper OU's can access the role. See custom roles for this functionality. The main system user interface interacts with these roles to determine which menu items users may access.

Role Members All users within the OU will be listed here. Assign users to the role by selecting the checkbox.

Assigned User Interfaces The available user interfaces for the OU will be listed here. When users log in to the management console, the combined list of user interfaces that are associated by role membership are used to determine how a user will be logged in to the system. If a user is assigned a single user interface, they are automatically presented with that interface. When multiple user interfaces are discovered, the user is presented with an option to select the UI to use.
