Roles define which menus each person logged into the web interface may see. A set of roles such as "System owner", "Reseller", "Administrator", and "User" are pre-defined. You may change these or add new roles for specific purposes.

To add a new role

  1. Log in to the Enswitch web interface.
  2. Go to System » Roles.
  3. Click the "New" button.
  4. Fill in the following:
    • A name for the role.
    • Optionally a description.
    • Whether the person may log into the web interface and SOAP API.
    • If they may log into the web interface, what user interface they see.
    • Whether they are an administrator and may make new features within their own customer.
    • Which menus they may view.
    • What this role is the default for. Enabling any of these settings disables them for all other roles.
  5. Click the "Save" button.
  6. Change the role of people as desired under the Features » People menu.
