System-defined roles restrict the menu paths that are available in Data Archive. For example, only users with the discovery user role have access to the

Data Discovery

menu. All system-defined roles include access to the

Home

and

Help

menus.

System-defined roles also determine the tasks that are available within the menus, such as display and edit privileges. For example, the administrator role can create and edit connections. The operator role can only view connections.

The default administrator user, AMADMIN, includes all system-defined roles except for the healthcare metadata administrator role. Use the default administrator user to create users and to assign roles to users. You can assign one or more system-defined roles to a user. By default, users do not include role assignments. You must manually assign roles when you create users.

You can add or change role assignments to users. Role changes take effect the next time the user logs in.
