Altair® Monarch® Server

 

Adding a Role

Roles allow you to quickly assign specific access rights and privileges to a user or user group. Because access rights and privileges in Monarch Server are cumulative, when you add a user or user group to a role, the user or user group members are granted the role's access rights and privileges in addition to their own.
