To create a new role definition, you'll need to have permission to manage system security policy. An
example of the steps required to create a new role definition follows:
1.
In Report Manager, click the Site Settings link. It's a global link in the upper-right corner of
the page.
2.
Click the Configure item-level role definitions link. Note that you also have the ability to con-
figure system-level roles.
3.
Click the New Role button on the options toolbar. You'll be brought to the New Role form.
4.
Give your new role the name Demo User. It's a good practice to use a name that matches the
job function or title for the group you're creating. The name can include spaces and special
characters, though it can't be more than 256 characters long.
5.
Type Role to demonstrate item-level security for the description. The description should make
it easy for administrators who create role assignments to understand what purpose the role is
intended for. Ideally, the description should describe the role responsibilities. Providing a com-
plete description keeps an administrator from having to open a role definition just to figure out
what task permissions it has.
6.
Check the View folders, View reports, and View resources check boxes. Figure 10-5 shows the
completed New Role form.
