Assign Security Roles
Overview
The ‘Assign Security Roles’ program allows your school’s TASS.web administrator to assign individual TASS.web User Accounts against Security Roles.
This program can be accessed by navigating to TASS.web System Admin > Users.
TASS.web User Accounts are set up in TASS.web System Admin > Users > User Maintenance.
Security Roles are set up in TASS.web System Admin > Users > Security Role Permissions.
Check out the ▶️ System Admin Licensing and Users Video for more information.
Important!
Only users with TASS.web administration permissions can access this program. Schools must establish procedures to control user access for data security purposes.
To obtain user permissions for a specific TASS.web program area or to extend your existing functionality, please contact your school’s TASS.web administrator.
User Security Permissions
Access to this program is controlled by the ‘User Maintenance’ security point in TASS.web System Admin > Users > User Maintenance or TASS.web System Admin > Users > Security Role Permissions. Contact your school administrator for access.
Assigning Security Roles
When a TASS.web User Account is assigned to a Security Role, the user will then inherit the permissions set up for that role.
Users may have both role-based and individual permissions. The ‘Permissions’ screen in the TASS.web System Admin > Users > User Maintenance program shows role-based permissions by marking them with an 'R'.
From the User Maintenance program, you can also generate a report listing the module, security points, and permissions assigned to all TASS.web user accounts.
A user can be assigned multiple security roles. When this occurs, the user will inherit a combination of the permissions from all assigned roles.
The screen can be operated by either:
Select the User and Assign Roles
To assign Security Role group(s) to a TASS.web User Account, select the user from the ‘Select a User’ drop-down list. In the ‘Unassigned Security Roles’ section, click the roles to assign, then use the ‘Selected’ icon to move them to the ‘Assigned Security Roles’ section. Then, click ‘Save’.
To unassign a role from a user, move the role from the ‘Assigned Security Roles’ section to the ‘Unassigned Security Roles’ section using the ‘Selected’ icon, then click ‘Save’.
The ‘Unassigned Security Roles’ and 'Assigned Security Roles’ sections are both multi-select fields. Holding down the 'Shift' key while clicking on your options enables a range selection; holding down the 'Ctrl' key allows individual selection of additional fields.
Select the Role and Assign Users
To assign TASS.web User Accounts to a Security Role Group, select the security role to modify from the ‘Select a Role’ drop-down list. In the ‘Unassigned Users’ section, click the roles to assign, then use the ‘Selected’ icon to move them to the ‘Assigned Users’ section. Then, click ‘Save’.
To unassign a user from the role, move the user from the ‘Assigned Users’ section to the ‘Unassigned Users’ section using the ‘Selected’ icon, then click ‘Save’.
The ‘Unassigned Users’ and 'Assigned Users’ sections are both multi-select fields. Holding down the 'Shift' key while clicking on your options enables a range selection; holding down the 'Ctrl' key allows individual selection of additional fields.
