-
Select the Roles node under the plant structure or project to which you want to add the new role.
-
Right-click and select New Role.
-
Define the properties on the General Tab. For the Role name, do the following:
For the Use local machine and domain groups or Use site server and domain groups options, select the ellipsis button
to display the Microsoft Select Group dialog, which allows you to select the Windows user group you want to assign to this
new role. The name of the role will be the same as the name of the selected user group.
If the group that is being added resides in a child domain in the Active Directory
structure, when you select Locations from the Microsoft Select Group dialog, you must choose the child domain instead of Entire Directory. When you select the child domain and the GroupName, the group resolves in the New Role dialog under Role name as the child domain\GroupName and all the users get populated in the database. An Active Directory group must have Security status and Global group scope to be able to work with Smart Engineering Manager.
-
On the Rights Tab, specify the user rights for this group of users. This step is optional if you selected a template on the General Tab. You can still modify individual user rights after applying a role template.
-
When setting the rights for the new role, be sure to not only set the rights for the applications, but also set the permissions available under the Smart Engineering Manager rights.
-
You can automatically include the site administrators group in each new plant you create or load by selecting the Add the site administrator group to each plant created option on the Site Properties > General Tab. Doing this saves you the step of creating a new role to grant these users permissions for the new plant.
