Assigning users and user groups roles enables an administrator to manage who is authorized to execute certain procedures during the import or deployment process or who can assign or carry out a task.

DROPS users are assigned roles on the entity-and global-level. Assigning roles to users at the entity-level is done by the administrator or the user who already has the admin role for that entity.

Reference

For more information about the different roles available for each entity, refer to Roles.

For more information about assigning roles at the global-level, refer to Assigning global-level roles.

The  Application,  Release,  Infrastructure Item,  Environment, and  Environment Group and Deployment Plan editors each contain a  Roles tab.

Note

Environment types also require roles but they are only defined at the global-level.

Assigning Entity-Level Roles

Follow the subsequent steps to assign a user to a role at the entity-level.

Step 1   In the entity's  Roles manager, select a role from the drop-down list.

Step 2   Click the  Add button to display the Select a user dialog. This dialog is prepopulated with all of the users defined for the current client.

Step 3   Select one or more users from the list (Ctrl+click for multi-selection), then click OK.

Result   The user(s) is/are assigned the role.

To remove a user from his assigned role at the entity-level, select the role the user is currently assigned from the drop-down list in the entity's  Roles manager. Select the user's name from the list, then click  Remove.

The user no longer appears in the list for that role and is no longer associated with it at the entity-level. Roles can be reassigned if necessary.

Save the changes (, Ctrl+S or File > Save).
