Roles
This screen allows you manage the Roles. These are used to define the roles that are assigned to Users. See also Concepts|Users for background information.
Confirm Delete
When you press the Delete button on the Administration|Roles screen, a confirmation window will appear.
If you press OK to confirm the delete, then, if the Role is not in use, it will be deleted. Otherwise an error window will appear with the text like:
Failed to delete object with reference security.role.1.0:.......
Click OK to dismiss the error window.
Create/Edit/View
This screen allows you to create, edit and view Roles.
The fields are as follows:
Name - the name of the role
Description - use this to clarify the purpose of the role
Active - uncheck this box to deactivate the group
Authorities tab - this is used to display, add and delete authorities from the role
Note that in the above you will see that the Clinician role can create or save (ie modify) everything, but remove (ie delete) only messages. If you don't include message remove, then the user will not be able to delete their own messages. However, a normal (ie non-administrator) user can happily operate with no other remove authorities - recall that in general nothing should be deleted, only deactivated.
