Manage Roles

A user with the Super User role can map predefined roles in Routing Director to the IdP user groups. For example, you can map an IdP group to the Network Admin role so that the users that are part of the group have the access privileges of the Network Admin user in Routing Director.

Note:

If a user's role is defined both as part of an IdP and as a local user in Routing Director, then the access privileges assigned as a local user overrides access privileges defined for the IdP.

Table 1 lists the parameters to add custom roles to an organization.

Table 1: Parameters to Add Roles
Field Description
Name* Enter the name of the IdP user group.
Role* Select an access level for the user group:

  • Super User

  • Network Admin

    You must assign at least one access control profile to a Network Admin role to grant access to resources. See Access Control Profile Overview.

  • Observer (default)

  • Installer

See Predefined User Roles Overview for details on privileges of each role.
Access Control Profile*

Assign one or more access control profiles to grant access to resources (devices, service instances, and perform tagging operations).

If an access profile does not exist, click the +Add Access Control Profile link to create a new profile and assign it to the Network Admin user. See Add Access Control Profiles.
