User Permissions

Blue Prism provides a high level of control to system administrators wishing to limit the actions that may be performed by ordinary users. Indeed, in many parts of Blue Prism, an administrator may specify not only which sections of the system a user may access, but may specify precisely which buttons a user may press within that section.

Setting a User's Permissions

A user with permission to access System Manager may set the roles of another user from the "Users" pane. This is achieved by selecting a user from the listview and clicking 'Edit user Settings' on the right. Once within the user settings form, permissions may be assigned to a user by navigating to the 'Permissions' tab and filling the checkboxes beside specific actions in the tree-view.

Use of Roles to Set Permissions

When a Blue Prism Role exists, a user may be assigned permissions conveniently simply by filling the checkboxes beside entries in the list of roles on the left hand side. This will automatically fill the checkboxes beside the actions contained in that role. This feature is especially convenient when setting the permissions of many users one after the other. For information about how to create custom roles, see Blue Prism Roles.
