Application Roles

Application roles are used to define the access control for applications. Users can access an application itself or a feature/component within that application, based on the application roles you assign them - for example: user, administrator, supervisor.

With application roles, you can ensure that only the relevant user interface is displayed to the appropriate users according to the tasks they are expected to perform within the application. For example, for an administrative application, the user interface displayed to an administrator (with the 'administrator' role) is different from the user interface displayed to a basic user (with the 'user' role). You can configure an application so that you assign multiple roles to users or groups.

Note: Application roles are defined independently of the organisational model. Use of application roles is optional.

Application roles are not provided as part of the MyWorkApp application, but can be used by customer-developed applications.
