Understanding roles

You assign roles to a user account when you:

• create a user account

• change a user’s roles

A role defines what the user can do on the NOW Privacy platform.

You can assign multiple roles to a user.

If you assign no roles at all the user can use:

• dashboards

• search

• automated workflows

• exports

The roles are:

Role	Capabilities
System	Internal use only
Exonar	Reserved for use by NowVertical - grants access to diagnostics but not to data
SecurityManager	manage users manage security groups manage roles view login history manage tags
CrawlManager	view data sources add data sources
Auditor	view audit entries
Report	Not currently used
WorkflowManager	view other users’ workflows edit other users’ workflows share workflows with other users
DuplicationManager	view the Duplication dashboard
ClassificationManager	Not currently used
EnhancedSecurityManager	This role is only available to users who have the SecurityManager role. view permissions for SecurityManager users manage SecurityManager users manage other EnhancedSecurityManager users enable/disable restricted queries

Notes:

1. The DuplicationManager works like this:

   • When using the Duplication dashboard, the DuplicationManager role has access to all datasets

   • Otherwise, a DuplicationManager user has access to datasets for the Security Groups that user belongs to

2. Restricted queries are a special feature in the platform. Please contact our Support team for further information.
