By creating a role, you can quickly and easily delegate a set of powers that represents an administrative task or workflow. You create and manage roles from the Delegation Management > Roles node in the Delegation and Configuration Console. In this node, you can do the following:
Create new roles
Clone existing roles
Modify role properties
Delete roles
Manage role assignments
Delegate a new assignment
Remove an existing assignment
View properties of an assigned assistant administrator
View properties of an assigned ActiveView
Manage the roles and powers in a role (roles can be nested)
Generate role change reports
The general workflow to execute any of the actions identified in this section is to select the Roles node, and do one of the following:
Use the Tasks or right-click menu to open the applicable wizard or dialog box to follow through with the necessary action.
Find the role object in the List items that match my criteria pane, and use the Tasks or right-click menu to select and open the applicable wizard or dialog box to follow through with the necessary action.
To execute any of the actions above, you must have the appropriate powers, such as those included in the Manage Security Model role.
