Customization of Roles

Roles define groups of users with common privileges and responsibilities. You can use roles to further define Workflow, GUI, and Catalog access behavior.

Note: To add a new role or modify the predefined roles, use the Import Metadata feature of TIBCO MDM.

For more information, refer to Importing Users, Roles, and Permissions section of the TIBCO MDM User’s Guide.
