La gestione dei ruoli consente di personalizzare liberamente i profili di accesso a Web Signage per gli utenti, attraverso la mappatura con le singole funzionalità dell'applicazione. Analogamente alla gestione utenti, tale funzionalità è una facoltà riservata esclusivamente all'amministratore del sistema.
It is possible to create, retrieve, update and delete a role. Moreover, using the in-context tasks it is possible to display the lists of all users related to the selected role.
| 1. | To create a new record, click on the New button and fill the detail page shown. |
| 2. | To update an existing record, select the desired record from the list and click on the Edit button. An editable detail page is shown. |
| 3. | To delete a record, select the desired record from the list and click on the Delete button. |
Note: If a user is associated to the selected role the deletion is not possible. You have to remove all relationships first.
The following functions are provided to help you select and search the records:
Find: Performs a search, looking for the text in the box within the record fields. The search is started after pressing the go button.
Role type: Is a drop down list containing the two role types (User roles created by users and System roles, built-in and unchangeable) and the option All. You can use it to filter the list showing all roles (All) or a specific type of role.
Alphabetic buttons
All: All records are shown
[0-9]: Only the records with the value of the first column starting with a number are shown.
[a,b...]: Only the records with the value of the first column starting with the selected letter are shown.
Paging: Using the << (previous page) and >> (next page) it is possible to scroll through the pages if they exceed the maximum number of records displayed in single page.
Role details
The detail page for the selected object contains the record fields, the in-context tasks and the scroll buttons.
The record list available is shaped by the selections and filters applied to the summary. The active filters are shown below the title, at the right of the 
icon.
The Name field is required, as well as all fields marked with an * (asterisk).
Task assignments map
The task assignment map allows to define the role granting system functions. Functions are grouped homogenously in the same order in which they appear in the menu bar.
Only checked functions will be available to that role and the user interface will be modeled accordingly. As you can see, this allows a detailed customization of privileges and security policies, while offering great flexibility for managing tasks and workflows within any type of organization.
Clicking on each function on the right side will appear a legend showing the related group and application.
In the example below, we have that the role allows access to the Video Clip application within the Video group (video content management and scheduling).
The role grants additional privileges of the Video Clip application:
| • | the ability to view records created and owned by the current user and by all other current users (regardless of his area and service) |
| • | the ability to create, edit and delete records |
| • | the ability to use in-context tasks |
The example map above will shape the interface of the user with the specified role as follows:
At the lower bottom of the page, the following buttons are available:
| 1. | Cancel: goes back to the summary leaving the record unchanged. |
| 2. | New: clears all fields and prepares for a new record creation. |
| 3. | Save: This button is enabled only if there is unsaved data. Clicking on it the data is saved and a label showing the last change date and time is shown. |
| 4. | Delete: upon confirmation, this button deletes the current record. The record will not be deleted if associated to other objects. |
| 5. | Scroll to first (<<) and to last record (>>) |
| 6. | Scroll to previous record (<) or next record (>) |
| 7. | At the right of the buttons is shown the number of the current record along with the total number of records (record no./record total). |
