Roles
Through roles you can manage access control in Micetro.
Objects (servers, zones, scopes, IP addresses, etc.) in Micetro are accessed through Roles configured with Permissions. Users and Groups do not have direct access to objects, only if they’re assigned to roles. Administrators can control a user or group’s access by assigning or removing them from roles.
Note
This page is for generic management of roles. See General roles, Specific roles, and Legacy roles for the particularities of the different role types.
