Roles

Roles define a user's access level in Administration and integrated OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights components. You can define roles at both the user and group level. If defined at both levels, the permissions are combined. Users with no roles assigned do not have access to Administration or other integrated component UIs.

  • To view the list of roles, click Roles > component in the primary navigation pane. You can search for a role by role name.

  • To open a quick view detail pane for a role, click anywhere in the row for the desired role and then click the open detail pane icon (open detail panel icon).

OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights includes several default roles. You can also create your own roles as needed for additional permission combinations within each component. Other than the Administration Administrator role, roles can be edited or deleted as desired.
