Working with Custom Security Roles

Custom security roles are an optional feature in PCS Axis. Using the feature allows you to grant or deny user access to one or more PCS Axis menus and menu commands.

A custom security role is a named set of permissions based on your company’s business requirements. You create a custom security role using a Parent Role as a template and then modify permissions in the custom security role as needed. A Parent Role is a PCS Axis installed security role with predefined permissions that cannot be modified, such as the SysAdmin, User, and Read Only security roles. After creating a custom security role you are then ready to assign it to a PCS Axis user set up in User Management.
