AgilePoint uses a role-based authorization mechanism to handle user access security. In
AgilePoint, a role is defined as a collection of privileges or access rights.
- Individuals or groups of individuals can be added to a role as the member of the
role.
- Each member of a role possesses all the privileges granted to the role. If a person
is a member of multiple roles, he/she will possess the sum of all the access rights
associate to the different roles.
- Once users are authenticated to AgilePoint, AgilePoint Server checks their rights
based on their roles to determine if they have permission specific tasks.
- AgilePoint provides built-in roles such as Administrator or Process Template
Designer. Additional administrator-defined roles can be created to meet the needs of
the application.
