Create role

Create a role for the SessionM platform, define its rules from resources and allowable actions, then assign the role to groups.

Create a role for the SessionM platform. A role contains a set of rules, and each rule specifies two things:

  • A resource, which represents a domain in the platform, such as Campaigns or Customers or the SessionM ETL tool, SM Sync.
  • The allowable actions that correspond with the resource, such "get," "list" and "create."

Roles can then be assigned to groups.

Steps

  1. On the Admin & Rights 2.0 dashboard, under Management, click Roles.

  2. From the All Roles page, click Create Role.

  3. In the New Role modal, specify a name and a display name for the role. Then click Save. The new role displays.

  4. Click Add Rule to expand the Resource and Actions fields.

  5. From the Resource drop-down, select the resource you want for the role, as shown below:

    Resource drop-down showing the platform resources available for a role
    Resource drop-down showing the platform resources available for a role
  6. Then, click in the Actions field to display the actions you can assign to the active resource, as shown below:

    Actions field showing the actions assignable to the active resource
    Actions field showing the actions assignable to the active resource

    For example, you might need "get," "list," "create," "update," and "delete" actions for defining a resource for stipulating members of groups; or the same set of actions mentioned above plus "approve," "start," and "suspend" for defining a resource for building and operating campaigns.

  7. If you want to add more rules for the role, repeat steps 4 - 6.

  8. Click Save.

Once saved, the role is created and becomes available for assignment to groups.
