Adding a Grantee to a System Role

Add a user or role as a member (grantee) of a system role. Grantee inherits all underlying system privileges and roles of the system role.

2. In the left pane, select IQ Servers > Security > Role Based > System Roles.
3. Select a system role from the right pane and either:
   • Click the arrow to the right of the name and select Manage Grantees, or
   • From the Administration Console menu bar, select Resource > Manage Grantees.
     Warning!  When adding a grantee which is also a role, be sure you select the correct menu option. Each option has different inheritance outcomes. To review the differences, see Security Implications of the Managing Grantees and Managing Roles Options.
   A list of users and roles currently granted to the system role appears.
4. Click Grant.
5. Select one or more user or roles to grant.
   Tip: Use Shift-click or Control-click to select multiple users or roles.
