Assign Roles wizard

Prev Next

The Assign Roles wizard allows you to assign administrator roles to a number of users. To create a new administrator role, use the Create Role wizard.

Available via USERS > Assign Roles. You can start this wizard also by clicking ASSIGN in the ROLES list. In that case, you select the administrator roles first, then the users to assign them to.

Before you start the wizard:

  • Ensure that you have administrative access to the OneSpan Authentication Server Administration Web Interface.

  • Ensure that you have the Assign Role privilege assigned.

If you assign an administrator role to an account, any previously assigned administrative privileges are automatically removed. If an account has an administrator role assigned, you cannot edit the individual administrative privileges of that account directly anymore.
