The Data Access Role Manager is used to edit the access role hierarchy
and to manage all data access roles in the application. It is typically
used to make modifications to the access roles after the initial access
role setup by the Data
Access Control Wizard. The access role manager is accessible through
the command "Manage
Data Access Roles" in the Security
menu, but will only be available after the initial data access control
setup.
The Data Access Role Manager shows the role hierarchy and controls to
modify/add/delete roles.
Role Hierarchy

hierarchy. The role hierarchy may be modified using the up/down buttons
and roles may be added or removed:
Button Up:
Moves the selected role up one level in the hierarchy.
Button Down:
Moves the selected role down one level in the hierarchy.
Button New
Role:
Adds a new role to the hierarchy. The user needs to enter the new role
name:
The access rules of the new role need to be configured subsequently
using the command "Edit Data Access Roles" in the Security menu.
Button Delete
Role:
Deletes the currently selected role.
Role Description
Shows the description string of the selected role. The role description
may be modified by simply editing the description text.
