Step 1: Accessing Role Management

  1. Go to the Admin Dropdown: Start by clicking on the Admin option located at the top right corner of your dashboard.

  2. Select Role & Permissions: From the dropdown menu, select Role & Permissions to navigate to the role management page.

Step 2: Creating a New Role

  1. Initiate Role Creation: Click on the Create Role button located towards the right side of the page. This will open a new dialog box where you can define the new role.

Step 3: Define the Role

  1. Enter Role Name: Type in the desired name for the new role in the Role Name field. Choose a name that clearly describes the role’s function to make it easier for users to understand its purpose.

  2. Set Permissions: Decide the permissions that this role should have. Permissions control what users assigned to this role can view, modify, or delete within the application. You can toggle permissions for different sections like Admin, Alerts, Audits, Dashboard, and more.

    • Enable All: Use the Enable All switches to quickly assign all permissions under a specific section.


Step 4: Save the Role

  1. Review Settings: Double-check the role name and permissions to ensure everything is correct.

  2. Save: Click the Save button to create the role. The new role will now appear in the Role & Permissions list, and you can assign it to users as needed.
