Assigning and removing a role from a user or group

After role templates are created, you can assign one or more roles to groups and users on a security context point within a business entity security domain.

About this task

If your organization has many security context points, you can filter on the name of a security context point to reduce the scope of the items listed.

You can assign a role to a user or group. Alternatively for users, you can assign roles from the user account. For more information, see Modifying user accounts.

When you revoke a role from a user or group, the role assignment is explicitly removed from the user or group on a given entity.

Disassociating users from a security domain group does not result in removal of their role assignments on that entity.

You can revoke a role assignment from a user or group from the Role Assignments tab of the business entity security domain group page. Alternatively for a user, you can remove roles from the user account. For more information, see Modifying user accounts.
