How to configure Jump Item Roles
If more than one role is assigned to a user, then the most specific role for a user is always used. The order of specificity for Jump Item Roles, from most specific to least specific, is:
- The role assigned to the relationship between a user and a Jump Group on the Jump > Jump Item Roles page.
- The role assigned to the relationship between a user and a Jump Group on the Users & Security > Group Policies page.
- The Jump Item Roles configured for a user on the Users & Security > Users page or the Users & Security > Group Policies page.
Note
A new Jump Item Role called Auditor is automatically created on new site installations. On existing installations it has to be created. This role only has a single View Reports permission enabled, giving admins the option to grant a user just the permission to run Jump Item reports, without the need to grant any other permission.
