When FMIS users are added to STIP Manager, they must be assigned at least one user role. Different user roles provide various levels of access and editing capabilities. These designations are determined in the Security Roles interface, accessed through the FMIS tab on the Main Menu. Only users with the FMIS Administrator security role, or users assigned a role that includes the Manage FMIS Security Roles permission will have this option available. On this interface, permissions attached to user roles can be managed and more user roles can be created.

When "Security Roles" is selected in the picklist, its interface will appear on the screen.

Each user role has attached permissions which can be managed in this interface. To select a user role to view, the user can utilize the "Role" picklist. Then, the table will update to display the correct permission information. The table contains these columns:

This table will always contain the full set of permissions offered in STIP Manager. However, each role will differ in which permissions are applied ("Permissions Applied" column).

Edit FMIS Role

To edit which permissions are applied to the selected role, the user can select a permission row in the table. Then, the Detail window on the righthand side will be filled with its information. This area will include the Security Role name and a delete icon () in the header, followed by the fields listed above (Permission Name, Permission Applied, Permission Description, and Module Name). The user can then apply the permission to the role () or remove the permission from the role (). However, permissions attached to system-wide roles cannot be modified. For example, if a user selects the System Administrator role in the picklist, then clicks on a permission row, this message () will always appear in the Detail window.

Add FMIS Role

The "Add FMIS Role" button located above the Permissions table allows the user with the FMIS Administrator role or the Manage FMIS Security Roles permission to create custom Security Roles. Once selected, the Detail window (righthand side) will be cleared, so the user can enter a Role Name; the user can then click "Save" to create the new role. The role's title will now appear in the "Role" picklist. The user can add permissions to this role by selecting the desired row and toggling the "Permissions Applied" button on in the Detail window. These selections will automatically apply to the Security Role.

Delete Role

To delete a custom Security Role, the user can click the trash can icon () in the header of the Detail window (righthand side). A message will appear asking the user to confirm this action before removing the role from the system.
