Security Roles

A security role defines how different users, or groups, can access the QEs and QAC. To assign a security role you to a user or group you need to access the User and Group detail page in the QAC. Each user can have multiple security roles.

Security role privileges are cumulative: having more than one security role gives a user every privilege available in every role.

The following matrix describes the privileges for each role:
