Overview
In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), roles are similar to job titles that you can create and assign to your users. After you create a role, you can populate that role with specific permissions. For example, you can create a Billing role, and then you can add specific permissions that will give the assigned user permission to access billing-related permissions, such as Update Payment Information.
To learn more about Roles and Permissions, see Review available permissions.
By default, a new administrator account contains an Admin role with all the available permissions selected.
When you create a new user account, you must assign that user a role. Armor recommends that you create a default role that you can assign to a customer in order to complete the account-creation process.
Some popular roles to consider are Administrator, Audit, Billing, and Technical.
To learn more about Roles and Permissions, see Review available permissions.
Create a role and add permissions
Assign a role to an existing user account
- In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), in the left-side navigation, click Account.
- Click Roles + Permissions.
- Locate and select the desired role.
- Under the name of the role, click Members.
- Click Edit Members.
- Select and drag the desired user to the Chosen column.
- Click the X at the top, right corner.
Update a permission for a role
Remember, when you update the permissions for a role, the users assigned to that role will automatically be able to use the newly added permissions.
- In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), in the left-side navigation, click Account.
- Click Roles + Permissions.
- Locate and select the desired role.
- Select or deselect the desired permissions.
- Click Save Role.
Remove a role for a newly created or existing user
After you create a user account with an assigned role, the new user will receive an email to complete the login process. During this time, the account administrator has limited access to that user account; however, the account administrator can still update roles and permissions for the new user.
- In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), in the left-side navigation, click Account.
- Click Roles + Permissions.
- In the search bar, enter the name of the newly created user, and then hit Enter. The table shows a list of roles associated with that user.
- Locate and select the desired role.
- Under the name of the role, click Members.
- Click Edit Members.
- Select and drag the desired user to the Chosen column.
- Click the X at the top, right corner.
