Security role change suggestion

Posted on by 1,531

Hi Friend,

I am in a situation, need to modify a role to remove a privilege, but, this privilege is reside in its sub-role. I can’t change sub-role, now I have to move all those duties/privileges from sub-role to this role, then remove sub-role from it.

There are hundreds of them. Is there an easy way to do it?

I understand I can duplicate the sub-role to create a new sub-role, remove the privilege from new sub-role, then assign new sub-role to the role. This means I am creating a new role which only use for the unique situation, no other use. Is this a good practice? would it create confusion down the road?

Many thanks,

    Hi Andre,

    Yes, that's what I mean, if I need to add them one by one to the role.

    but, I figured out a way to easily accomplish it, you can drag and drop those privileges and duties to a role.

    Thanks you guys as always!

    Hi River,

    What exactly do you mean with "hundreds of them"? Are you referring here to roles, sub-roles or privileges? Are you using duties or not (as you mainly mention privileges)?

    Hi River,

    I would follow the second approach of duplicating the role and removing the privilege. You could update the description to something like "DO NOT USE" so that the role isn't assigned to any of the users.

    Hi River,

    Is this a customized role or a standard one?
