Converting a Role-Based User to a User-Extended Role

Change an existing user to act as a role. The user-extended role retains membership roles already granted to the user.

  1. In the Perspective Resources view, select the resource, and select Resource > Administration Console.
  2. In the left pane, expand IQ Servers > Security > Role-Based, and then select Users.
  3. Select a user from the right pane and either:
    • Click the arrow to the right of the name and select Change to Role, or
    • From the Administration Console menu bar, select Resource > Change to Role.
  4. Click Yes to confirm conversion.
After converting the user, if any of the following roles were granted to the original user, the underlying system privileges and roles are automatically inherited by any users added to the role. This can be prevented, for these roles only, by changing the administrative rights on the role along with the no inheritance option.
