Change a Role's Capabilities

The initial capabilities-to-roles mapping is appropriate in many cases. If necessary, you can change the set of capabilities that a role provides.
CAUTION:
There is no automated method for reverting a role back to its original set of capabilities.
Instead of adjusting the capabilities of a predefined role, consider creating a new role. Before you alter role capabilities, make sure you have a complete and current backup. For more information, see SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.
  1. Open the role that you want to update.
  2. Use either or both of the following techniques:
    • Incrementally add or remove capabilities from the role by selecting or clearing check boxes on the Basic Capabilities page.
    • Give the role the capabilities of one or more other roles by using the Contributing Roles page.
  3. Save the role.
