Roles Tab

You can use the administration feature to centrally manage what the users can do in TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail. For example, you can control who can log in or have access to specific information and activities through the assignment of roles. You can only provide access and modification privileges to the features that are available with your license.

Note: If you have configured LDAP for remote authentication, create a user group for the users configured via LDAP and assign a role to that user group.

For a better understanding about the available resource groups (features) for providing license based access privileges, see TIBCO® Operational Intelligence Hawk® RedTail Concepts.

In the following image, a role is being created by giving READ-WRITE privileges to every resource group of the base content pack.
