Managing roles in Manager

You can view and manage roles in ArcGIS Server Manager. The Security module in Manager contains a Roles page where you can view and manage your roles.

The features available on this page vary depending on your identity store. If you are using ArcGIS Server's built-in store, you can add, modify, and delete roles in Manager. If you are using LDAP or Active Directory, you can only view and search the list of roles. You cannot add new roles or modify a role's properties.

To view and manage roles in Manager, select one of the topics listed below:

• Viewing roles
• Searching for a role
• Adding a new role
• Modifying a role
• Deleting a role

Viewing roles

To view the roles in your identity store, follow the steps below.

1. Open Manager and log in. If you need help with this step, see Logging in to Manager.
2. Click Security > Roles.

Manager only displays the first 1,000 roles in your identity store. However, Manager offers a Search tool that you can use to locate and view the properties of a role. This is especially convenient when your identity store contains a large number of roles. To find a role using the Search tool, see the next section in this topic.

Finding a role with the Search tool

To search for a role in Manager, follow the steps below.

1. Open Manager and log in. If you need help with this step, see Logging in to Manager.
2. Click Security > Roles.
3. Enter the name of the role in the Find Role dialog box.
   Note:

   You can also enter the first few characters of the role name or use the asterisk (*) character to replace one or more characters in the role name. For example, to locate a role named "ArcGIS Administrators", you can use the search string "*Administrators" or "ArcGIS*".

4. Click the Search icon to view the results of your query.

Deleting a role

You can delete a role in Manager by following the steps below.

Note:

If your roles are stored in an LDAP server or Active Directory, you will need to use that product's user management tool to delete roles.

1. Open Manager and log in as the primary site administrator or a user with administrative access. If you need help with this step, see Logging in to Manager.
2. Click Security > Roles.
3. Click the delete icon corresponding to that role.
4. Click Yes when prompted to confirm that you want to delete the role.
