The role is created and is listed on the Roles page. You can now edit the role as needed.    

Info

When adding roles to external user stores, note the following:

  • Some external user stores do not allow you to create empty roles. In that case, selecting users who belong to a role is mandatory.
  • If you connect to an external user store (e.g., LDAP) in read-only mode, you can read existing roles from it, but you can not edit/delete the roles. In this case, you can still create new roles that are editable and can be managed internally.
  • If you connect to an external user store in read/write mode, you can edit the roles in the external user store as well.

Searching for user roles

    • PRIMARY: Searches within the primary user store. 
    • ALL-USER-STORE-DOMAINS: Searches within all user stores configured in the system.
    • Internal: Searches in the database where internal/system-reserved user roles such as  Internal/everyone  are stored.
  2. Enter the role name pattern.  For example, if you enter "ab*", it returns all roles that have names starting with "ab". 
  3. Click Search to see the results.
