Users with the proper permissions are able to create and manage Roles from the Users & Roles area, which can be found in the Scaffold Navigation.

Creating a Role

To create a new role from the Users & Roles page,

  1. Select the Roles section

  2. Click the New Role button

  3. Enter the role details and the needed permissions.

  4. Click the New Role button.

The new role will be created and can now be assigned to Scaffold user accounts.

Note:

  • Once a role is created you will not be able to delete the role from Scaffold.

  • If a role needs to be deleted, please reach out to K16 Solutions Support.

Updating a Role

To update a current role,

  1. Select a role from the Role list

  2. Once you have been redirected to the Role Details page, make the necessary edits.

  3. Select the Save button that will appear once changes have been detected.

Note:

  • The role name cannot be edited, only the friendly name can.

  • Once a role is created, it cannot be deleted. To get a role deleted, you will need to submit a ticket to K16 Support.
