Role settings

What are role settings?

Role settings are where you assign roles to your users. Users are assigned roles based on the level of access they need to do their EPM Cloud for Linux job functions.

⚠️

Important

Pages and functions in EPM Cloud for Linux require certain permissions, which are distributed by roles. If a user is not assigned the appropriate role, they cannot access the associated features in EPM Cloud for Linux. For example, the policyadmin role is required for an authenticated user to interact with a policy.
