Managing User Roles
What you can see and do in the user interface is controlled by your user account privileges. In VMS 3.1 and later, the permission are managed using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). RBAC restricts or authorizes system access for users based on user roles. A role defines the privileges of a user in the system. Since users are not directly assigned with privileges, management of individual user privileges is simply a matter of assigning the appropriate roles.
A user is granted access to desired system resources only if the assigned role grants the access privileges. For example, a user with the Service Extension Designer role can import service extension templates, define service extension parameters, define default parameter values, and so on. For more information on assigning roles to a user, see Managing Users.
