17.3. Managing Roles

To control the tasks that Perforce Chronicle users can perform, you assign roles to them. For each role, you can configure the privileges that are permitted. For example, an editor might be able to create and edit content but not change your site's theme. Role permissions give you fine control over what can be done to Chronicle resources.

The Manage Roles screen is where role management tasks are performed. Hover your mouse over each of the numbered callouts to highlight the associated area of the screen.

(1)	Filter by Text Search: Enter text to filter the list of roles to entries containing the text.
(2)	Filter by Role Type: Click on one or more checkboxes to filter the list of roles to entries of the selected types. When no checkboxes are checked, roles of all types are included.
(3)	Sort Roles: Click on one of the columns to sort the roles by that column's details, click again to change the sort direction (an indicator arrow appears). The Users and Actions columns are not sortable.
(4)	Actions Drop-down Menu: Click on one of the drop-down menus in the Actions column to see and use actions available for each entry, including Edit and Delete.
(5)	Lazy-load Scrollbar: When there are many more role entries than can fit on-screen, only enough entries are retrieved to fill the display. When you use the scrollbar, additional entries are fetched. This means that scrolling might appear to be slightly slower than you might expect, but it allows filtering, sorting and initial display to be much faster when you have hundreds or thousands of roles.
