User Roles and Labels

Every user in the CSI database must be assigned a User Role. This gives the user specific permissions for the CSI Customer Center and if trying to access CSI products with Cloud Sign-in licensing. Template roles have been created for convenience but custom User Roles can be created. Only the template Administrator role has full Customer Account Administrator permissions (including permission to make changes in the User Management Dashboard).  

Labels can be created and assigned to users for the convenience of grouping a set of users together. This can serve to help filter/sort/manage the group of users to assign Roles, License Customers and License Groups. A user can be assigned multiple Labels. 

On the Roles and Labels tab, a Customer Account Administrator has permission to do the following:

ROLES

  • Create a new custom User Role

...

  • Edit/delete a custom Role

  • Assign a Default Role for their customer account. When a new user is created outside of the User Management Dashboard, the user will be assigned this default role.
