System Security Roles

Introduction

Security roles allow you to quickly assign the appropriate permissions and access to users in an environment.

We have designated three system security roles:

• System admin
• Application admin
• Application modeler

Module access by role

The table shows each security role's module access:

Tip: To learn more about customized roles, refer to the Administrator User Guide.

System admin

System admins have unlimited access to all aspects of the system. System Admins can create new applications and access all pages. They also have the ability to impersonate any user in the system.

Manage your System Admins in the System Admins node of the System module. If you do not have a System Admin, you can assign one directly to [dbo].[SystemAdmins] in your system database, using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).

Application admin

Application admins manage user security and workflows. For data security, Application Admins grant users access to models and dimensions. For workflows, Application Admins manage workflow configurations (e.g., assigning users workflow roles, form and rule associations, and workflow filter groups). Application admins can also lock plans to prevent additional data changes to the application.

Manage your Application Admins in the Membership node of the Administrator module. 

Application modeler

Application modelers build and deploy applications using Kepion's Modeler.

Manage your Application Modeler in the Membership node of the Administrator module.
