This page is for PhixFlow administrators who need to assign roles, with their associated privileges, to user groups. It describes the role properties. For related information, see the PhixFlow User Administration topic.

Overview

Roles represent the type of access required to do specific tasks in PhixFlow, for example, Designer, User, Administrator. Roles and user groups are linked, and user groups have privileges because of their roles. For more information about how users, user groups, roles and privileges are connected, see pages in the User Administration topic.

For information about the properties toolbar, and about the sections Parent Details, Analysis Models, Description and Audit Summary, see Common Properties.  We recommend you always add a Description that explains the purpose of the item you are creating. 

For a full list of all the PhixFlow property tabs and windows, see Properties, Windows, Menus and Toolbars.
