Add an Application to a Role

If you're creating a new role from scratch, you'll need to add the applications you want to allow or deny access to for that role. When roles are created using any of the other options (ex. "Start from..." or "Copy a Role"), Permission Assist automatically adds the applications that most Identities within that role have access to, but you can still add other applications to specifically allow or deny access to the application as a whole or to specific permissions within the role. 

To add an application to a role, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Entitlement Roles list, select the Entitlement Role you want to change. The role's detail page is displayed and the Applications tab is open by default. 

  2. Select the Select an application field at the bottom of the page and then pick an application from the list.

  3. Select the Add Application button. The application is added and displayed in the list of Applications; a green check mark appears to the left of the application indicating overall access to the application for this role is allowed.

    To deny access to the application as a whole:

    1. Select the application you just added. The details panel is displayed.

    2. Select the light grey cogwheel - - in the top right corner of the detail panel and then select Deny all access.
  4. Once the application is added, you're able to allow or deny access to specific privileges within the application as needed.
