Built-In Security Roles

Built-in Security Roles are provided with Adaxes Service for some typical positions and tasks such as Human Resources Manager or Help Desk. A unified set of permissions necessary for that position or task is delegated by every Role. This set of permissions can be changed to meet your company needs.

Most of built-in Security Roles do not have assignments. To start using them, you need to specify trustees and activity scope on which you want to apply them.

However, three built-in Security Roles are assigned by default. These Roles are Domain User and User Self-Service.

The Domain User Role allows users from Managed Domains to view domain objects and manage requests sent for their approval. By default, this Role is assigned to the Authenticated Users security principal on All objects. It means that any user from Managed Domains will be able to view objects in all Managed Domains.

The User Self-Service Role allows users to modify some of their own user account properties and to change own password. By default, this Role is assigned to the Self security principal on All objects.

Built-in Security Roles include:
