Change the Role of a Current Service User

There are two available
Web Security Service
roles:
  • Admin User
    —Has access to the entire
    WSS
    portal user interface. An Admin can configure user account provisioning, traffic connectivity methods, policies, and report generations.
  • Report User
    —Has access to the dashboards and reports links but
    cannot
    access policy controls.
One scenario where a role change might be required is if the main administrator goes on leave and a Reporting User is temporarily taking over.
  1. Navigate to
    Account Configuration > Administrators
    .
  2. Expand the
    Admin and Users
    area.
  3. Select a user and click
    Edit
    .
    Change User Roles
    The portal displays the Edit User dialog.
    1. Select or clear a user
      Role
      as required.
    2. Select the
      Default Role
      . For example, if
      Report User
      is the default role, the user only sees reporting pages, but can switch to
      Admin Role
      from the top of the user interface.
    3. (Optional) Assign or change an existing
      Report Filter
      for this role. Report Filters limit the data displayed for this user. See Assign Reporting User Based on Role.
  4. Click
    Save
