Role management

Roles define which set of permissions are required for users to fulfill the tasks assigned to them. Roles reflect how responsibilities are organized in your company.

For example, it may be sufficient to simply create another administrator role with all permissions in addition to the IT Operation Manager. This can be assigned to one or more users who all have the same responsibilities.

However, it is often sensible and necessary to separate responsibilities.

For example, it is possible to create a role that only has permission to manage users, organisationl units and roles, but not to see the endpoints and recommended actions.Another role can be created so that the role owner may edit endpoints and see recommended actions, but not manage users or roles.

During the Kick-off, our G DATA Security Operations Team will advise you on how to model the best role structure for you.
