Managing access and roles

Introduction

A role is a collection of permissions and represents a more granular layer for managing user access, following the broader option of maintaining access through groups. You can assign roles to groups or to individual users. When you assign a role to a group, all users in the group inherit the role.

In Task Mining, there are two types of roles:

Permission management

Managing access in Task Mining

By default, only Organization Administrators can create new Task Mining projects. Organization Administrators are members of the Administrators group.

If you want to allow additional users or groups to create Task Mining projects, you need to assign them the Administrator or Project Creator role in Task Mining.

Administrators can manage access for users to the Task Mining service in the Manage access page.

Note:

You can set access for users only for Task Mining and not for other Cloud services.

The Role assignments tab displays a list of users and groups with the assigned service-level roles. See the illustration below.


You can assign roles that grant permissions to a specific user or group. Below is an overview of the different service-level roles that are available for Task Mining users.

Role

Permissions

Administrator

  • Can manage access in Task Mining for users and groups.

  • Can create new Task Mining projects.

  • Has read, update, and delete permissions for all Task Mining projects.

  • Can assign roles to users and groups in all Task Mining projects.

  • Can manage all Task Mining projects end-to-end (configure settings, control user’s recording, run analysis, view, and edit results).

By default, users that are in the Administrators group have the Administrator role assigned.

Project Creator

  • Can create new Task Mining projects.

  • Has read, update, and delete the Task Mining projects for which they are the project creator.

  • Can assign roles to users and groups for Task Mining projects for which they are the project creator.

Note:

An Administrator or Project Creator who creates a new Task Mining project automatically has the Project administrator project-level role assigned for the created project.

Granting permissions to create a project

You can assign roles to a new user or group, or you can edit a user or group that is already in the list on the Role assignments tab.

Follow these steps to assign a role to one user, several users, or a group.

    The Assign roles panel is displayed.

  3. In the Add users/groups/apps field, enter the email address of the user, or the name of the group to which you want to assign one or more roles.

  4. If you want to assign the same role or roles to multiple users or groups, repeat step 3 to add the users and/or roles.

  5. Select the service-level roles you want to assign.

  6. Select Assign.

A notification message is displayed and an email is sent to the user or users.

New users and/or groups are listed on the Role assignments tab. For each user or group the assigned role is displayed.

Editing users and/or groups

Follow these steps to assign a different service-level role for a user or group.

  5. Select Remove to remove the selected user or group

The entities marked for removal are no longer listed on the Role assignments tab.

Granting permissions to manage or review a project

Project-level roles are roles that control the actions that users can perform on specific Task Mining projects. You can assign roles that grant permissions to a specific user or group. Below is an overview of the different project-level roles that are available for Task Mining users.

Role

Assigning project-level roles in a Task Mining project

As a Project Admin, you can assign project-level roles by sharing the project with other users in your organization. See Sharing a project.

Assigning project-level roles in an Unassisted Task Mining project

You need to have the Project administrator or the Business Analyst role assigned to assign project-level roles for an Unassisted Task Mining project. If you have the Project administrator role, you can assign Project administrator, Business Analyst, or Recording user roles. If you have the Business Analyst role assigned, you can only assign the Business Analyst role. For example, if you are a Business Analyst and you want to collaborate on the project with a colleague Business Analyst.

You can assign project-level roles from the Team page. See Inviting recording users and Assigning Project administrators and Business analysts.
