Toshiba Release 4.0 manual New Role, To create a new role

Whenever a user’s list of roles is changed, the “use roles” values on the

Permissions tab are updated to reflect the new role configuration.

New Role

With Strata CS you can create a new role. A new role such as a Admin Assistant is one or more users that have the same permissions (for example, call or dialing permissions). All users assigned to this role are automatically granted the same permissions. There are two types of permissions: explicit and implicit. Explicit permissions are those permissions granted directly to a user. No other users are affected. Implicit permissions are those permissions granted to all the users in that role.

When a user attempts to use the phone, that user's set of permissions are based on the intersection of that user's explicit and implicit permissions. A user's permissions are always the least restrictive of that user's explicit permissions and the permissions of any role to which that user belongs. For this reason, the least complicated way to administer users is to create a new role and assign permissions to those users rather than to individual users. Then you can change individual users' permissions by adding or removing them from the role. Also, if you need to grant new permissions, you can grant them to all members in that role in a single operation.

To create a new role

1.In the Users view, choose User > New Role. A new Role dialog box opens.

2.Enter the name of the role and any comments about its function.

3.Select the Users tab to manage (add or remove) users in the role.
