Roles control user and group access to administrative functions within Universal Controller. A user or group that has been assigned a role has permission to perform any function defined for that role.
Permissions control user and group access to specific functions for specific types of Controller records.
Some roles have permissions for specific functions that can be assigned individually. For example, a user that has been assigned the 60030979 ops_agent_cluster_admin role has permission to perform all functions associated with Agent Clusters. A user that has not been assigned the 60030979 ops_agent_cluster_admin role still can be given permission to perform individual functions associated with Agent Clusters via the 60030979 Agent Cluster Permissions.
Conversely, since there is no role associated with Agents, permissions for a user to perform functions associated with Agents must be assigned specific 60030979 Agent Permissions.
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
The 60030979 ops_admin role assigns a user permission to perform all functions. |
...
Each role is a predefined collection of administrative functions (see 60030979 Description of Roles, below). By assigning a role to a user or group, you automatically give that user or group all functions associated with that role.

You can further narrow down which records each permission applies to by specifying either name parameters or Business Services. For example, a given permission might apply only to tasks whose name begins with "SF," or a permission might apply only to tasks that have been assigned to a specific Business Service or to tasks that do not belong to any Business Services. See 60030979 General Permissions Field Descriptions, below, for more details.
