Add a User to a Delegated Administration Role

When you add a user to a role, you grant that user access to all of the administrative rights attributed to that role. If you want to add a specific user or a set of users that do not already belong to a group to an administration role, use these instructions to select the users one at a time and add them to a role.

To add a user or users to a Delegated Administration role by name:

1. In the Delegated Administration Resource tree, select the role to which you want to add users.
2. Select the Add Users to Role tab.
3. To search for the user:
   • Type the user's name in the Manual Search field and click Search
   • Click a letter in the Quick Search field
   • Click Show All Users to see a list of all available users

Note: If the user is not in the sytsem, you can create a new user.

4. Selected users appear in the Select box. Click the check box next to each user to select it, and click Select Users. Selected users now appear in the Add box.
5. Click Add User to Role.
6. Click the Role Properties tab and confirm that the users have been successfully added to the role.

Note: When you are establishing your role hierarchy, keep in mind that child roles within a Delegated Administration role must be unique. For example, you cannot have a Delegated Administration role called RoleA with a child role of Role 4 if you already have a child role called Role 4 elsewhere in the hierarchy.
