In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), roles are similar to job titles that you must create and assign to your users. When you create a new role, you can populate that role with specific permissions. These permissions determine the type of access a user has in AMP.

...

Info

When you create a new user, you must assign that user a role.

There are two ways to assign a user to a role:

  1. Assign a default role with permissions already enabled in AMP.
  2. Create a new role, populate that role with your preferred permissions, and then assign that role to a user.


Note

To review Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding roles and permissions in AMP, see Introduction to Roles and Permissions.
