Roles

There are three basic user roles in Shibboleth IdP UI:

  • ROLE_ADMIN: A user with ROLE_ADMIN, Administrator, is able to view, approve, enable, and modify all metadata sources, metadata providers, and dynamic registrations. They also have access to all administrative functions including the Admin dashboard, Action Required dashboard, and Advanced features.  
  • ROLE_ENABLE: A user with ROLE_ENABLE has the ability to create, edit, and enable metadata sources belonging to their group.
  • ROLE_USER: A user with ROLE_USER has the ability to create and edit metadata sources belonging to their group, but cannot enable them.

On the Role Management screen the Administrator can perform the following functions:

  • Create a new role

  • Edit an existing role - except the ROLE_ADMIN; this role is required by the system
  • Delete a role  - except the ROLE_ADMIN; this role is required by the system
