Create Custom Roles for Single Sign-On Access

Follow these steps to add all custom roles that you need for user authentication.

When you configure administrator single sign-on (SSO) for your organization, you must create custom roles in Juniper Mist™ that correspond to the roles for the user accounts in your identity provider (IdP) portal. These roles determine the permissions that users have in the Juniper Mist portal.

To create custom roles for SSO access:

  1. From the left menu, select Organization > Admin > Settings.
  2. In the Roles section of the Organization Settings page, click Create Role.
    location of the Create Role button
  3. In the Create Role window, enter a name, which needs to match a role in your IdP portal.
    For example, if super-admin is a role in your IdP portal, enter super-admin.
  4. Read the on-screen descriptions of the administrator roles, and then select the level of access that you want this role to have.
  5. Under Site Access, keep the default setting of All Sites, or restrict access to specific sites or site groups.
    To select the sites or site groups that this role can access:
    1. Click either Site Groups or Specific Sites.
    2. Click + (the plus button).
    3. Select the locations that you want this role to access.
  6. Click Create.
