Recommended Configuration Steps

See the General Object Configuration guide for assistance configuring the General tab.

Overview

The Role object is one part of the ACM security configuration. When user security is enabled (by enabling the option in the $Server object), the User objects and Role objects work together to define:

Which user or group accounts can connect to ACM
Which configuration changes they are allowed to make
Which commands they're allowed to execute.

The Security section of the User Guide has further explanations and examples of security configuration concepts.
