Create tenant role templates

This procedure is required if one or more tenants will be provisioned without a license. This procedure cannot be performed after the system is set up, and tenants are provisioned.

If tenants are provisioned without a license, tenant roles and privileges are managed by the Service Provider.

To create tenant role templates in the Tenant template organization, copy the default roles from the root organization and use the Roles and Privileges Reference Tool to make privilege modifications.

Create organizations to store activities, queues, and roles

Procedure 

  1. Go to User Management. Under Security, select Roles Setup.

  2. Copy all roles from the root organization to the Tenant template organization, except for the following roles that are used for system management purposes only and are not meant to be used by tenants:

    • Administrator

    • Archive Manager

    • Enterprise Manager Admin

    • Import Export Manager Admin

    • Import Export Manager User

    • Installation and Setup Role

    • Operational System Management

    • Retail Employee

    • Retail Manager

    • Retail Regional Manager

    • System Monitor Admin

    • System Monitoring with Acknowledgment

    • System Monitoring without Acknowledgment

    The roles that appear in the root organization depend on licensing. Therefore, not all roles listed above appear.

  3. Under the Tenant template organization, rename the copied roles using the following syntax:

    Original name+ Template

    For example, rename Copy of Manager 1 to Manager Template.

  4. Use the Roles and Privileges Reference Tool to identify specific multi-tenant enabled privileges so that the privileges are appropriate for tenants, and make the relevant modifications.

  5. For any copied role that is flagged as an administrator role (as indicated in the Is Admin column), edit the role and remove the Is Admin Role flag.

  6. Under the Tenant template organization, create a custom Tenant Administrator role to serve the functionality of user management not included in other roles.

  7. For the Tenant Administrator role, set relevant privileges according to the Roles and Privileges Reference Tool and enable Secure Fields:

    1. Set, at a minimum, the privileges specified below (located in the Framework section).
