Custom User Roles

The Security Management appliance allows users with Administration privileges to delegate administration capabilities to custom roles. Custom roles provide more flexible control over your users’ access than the predefined user roles do.

Users to whom you assign custom user roles can manage policies or access reports for a subset of appliances, features, or end users. For example, you might allow a delegated administrator for web services to manage policies for an organization’s branch office in a different country, where the acceptable use policies might be different from those at the organization’s headquarters. You delegate administration by creating custom user roles and assigning access permissions to those roles. You determine which policies, features, reports, custom URL categories, etc. that the delegated administrators can view and edit.

Administrators can create custom roles with read-only option for Quarantine messages. The read-only option prevents users from deleting or releasing messages and only have read-only access to quarantine.
