Prospero provides you with several commonly-used, functionality-based roles out of the box. These roles control your user’s access to Prospero’s features and are intended to assist your organization in quickly establishing users in your entity.
There are seven default Prospero Roles provided as part of your installation: Administrator, Designer, Launcher, Planner, Viewer, IT/Help Desk, and Unassigned. By default, these roles have been assigned specific permission characteristics defining their access to the system. (The Planner Role is intended for use with the Prospero reporting and budgeting or budgeting-only product. Otherwise, the Planner Role has the same permissions and behaviors as the Launcher Role.)
In general, Prospero Roles have the following rules and constraints:
1. You cannot add or revoke permissions from the Administrator Role or the IT/Help Desk Role by de-selecting a specific permission’s “Grant” checkbox.
2. Permissions are defined at the role-level only. You cannot specifically add or revoke permissions from an individual user.
3. You cannot add or revoke permissions on your own role.
4. Any Role can be renamed except for the Unassigned Role.
5. Any Role can be deleted except for the Administrator, IT/Help Desk, and Unassigned Roles.
Where more specific or granular permissions are required, you may want to create a user-defined role which can be custom configured. New users can be associated to the new role, or, existing users can be added using a standard Windows drag-and-drop feature within the tree hierarchy.
Note: Each Prospero User must hold the appropriate license type to perform certain tasks or functions based on the permissions determined on the Role. The license required by any set of permissions will be indicated on the Role User Definition workspace.
