Manage Application Role Permissions

Application Role Permissions Overview

Each Guardium application can be assigned one or more security roles. Assigning an application to a role is the only way to grant a user access to that Guardium application. The term application in this context can refer to a single tool or to a collection of tools grouped on a tab or menu.

In Central Manager environments, all Users, Security Roles, and Application Role Permissions are stored on the Central Manager. The Guardium administrator logged on to the Central Manager or any managed unit can modify the Application Role Permissions stored on the Central Manager.

Assign a Role to an Application

  1. Select Access Management > Role Permissions to open the Assign Roles to Applications panel. This panel lists all applications, and provides a Roles button that can be used to display or modify the roles assigned to that application. (The complete set of applications is described below, under Applications List.)

  2. To assign a role to an application, click that role’s Roles button to open the Assign Security Roles panel.

  3. Mark all roles to which you want to grant permission for this application.

  4. Click the Save button.

  5. Click the Back button when you are done.
