Assigning a hierarchy to a role
The visibility of any particular hierarchy is given on a role by role basis. More than one hierarchy can be assigned to a
role. The role(s) assigned to a user determines which hierarchies are visible to that user.
Prerequisites:
- The hierarchy you wish to assign exists in the Hierarchy space.
Perform the following steps:
- To open the RoleManager view, double-click the RoleService.
- Double-click to edit an existing role.
- In the Edit window, click the chevron icon to the right of
Viewable Hierarchies. - In the Edit Viewable Hierarchies window, click to the left of the desired hierarchy to select it, and click OK.
The hierarchy will be visible under the Hierarchy space to any user assigned that role who logs in to the station.
NOTE: Assigning a hierarchy to a role only controls visibility of the top level of that hierarchy. The visibility of elements under
any assigned hierarchy are still restricted by the assigned role and its category permissions.
Example
This example shows the Building Owner role being edited to assign the Local Facility Manager hierarchy.
After a user assigned the Building Owner role logs in to the station, the Local Facility Manager hierarchy is visible under the Hierarchy space.
Next, the particular
Role must be assigned to a user for the hierarchy to be visible to that user.
