To understand the user interface of the Role group of settings:

 

1. Access the System Config (“system configuration”) as described in System Config.

 

The system configuration opens onscreen, and the Tree Console shows four topic settings: User Group, Role, Schedule, and Layout.

 

And the topic setting Role will expand four pre-configured user groups:

Role– Admin

Role– Power User

Role– User

Role– Guest

Among the pre-configured roles, Role– Admin cannot be deleted while the other three are subject to change and deletion. See Configure A Role to edit a role and see Delete A Role to delete a role.

 

Save for the pre-configured ones, the NuClient users can freely add their own roles to the software. To add a role, see Create A Role.

 

2. From the Tree Console, click the topic Role.

 

The Overview tabbed page then opens at the Configuration Pane to deliver a general view of the “privileges” of all the existing roles.

Take a closer look at the user interface. The Overview tabbed page actually shows all the existing role(s), with the info about their “privileges”, which means the allowed/prohibited actions to take for a role.
