Manage AutoDiscovery user roles

Each user role defines a group of permissions that can be assigned together to any user.

By default, AutoDiscovery is installed with the Administrators, ASMS Users, and Viewers roles. You can clone these roles and edit them, or create new roles from scratch.

ASMS super users are automatically assigned the Administrators role and ASMS non-super users automatically assigned the ASMS Users role.

In AutoDiscovery, select the Configuration tab > Access Control > Roles.
Do one of the following:
Add a new role

  - Enter a name for your new role
  - Select the permissions you want this role to have.
