About Custom Web User Roles

Custom web user roles allow users to publish policies to different Web Security appliances, and gives them the permission to edit or publish the custom configuration to different appliances.

From the Web > Configuration Master > Custom URL Categories page on the Security Management appliance, you can view the URL categories and policies that you are allowed to administer and publish. Additionally, you can go to the Web > Utilities > Publish Configuration Now page and view the possible configurations.

Note
Remember that when you create a custom role with Publish Privilege capabilities, when user logs in, they will not have any usable menus. They do not have the publish menu and they will land on an non-editable landing screen since the URL and policy tabs do not have any capabilities. In effect, you have a user that cannot publish or administer any categories or policies.The workaround to this issue is that if you want a user to be able to publish, but not to be able to manage any categories or policies, you must create a custom category which is not used in any policy, and give that user the ability to manage that custom category along with publishing. In this way, if they add or delete URLs from that category, it does not affect anything.

You can delegate web administration by creating and editing custom user roles.
