Resetting default roles and permissions
Viewpoint 7.5.0 includes delivered roles (for more information, see About role management). These default roles are pre-configured with specific permissions, based on the type of role. For example, the Administrator role includes all permission, while the User role includes a small subset of permissions.
On the Reset Defaults page, you can reset your permissions for these delivered roles to their defaults. For a list of which default permissions are included in each role, please see Default role permissions.
The option on this page is highly destructive and should be used with caution.
To set the Viewpoint default permissions
- Navigate to the Set Viewpoint Defaults page (Administration > Configuration > Reset Defaults).
- Click Reset default roles and permissions.
Warning: This option removes all roles and permissions, resets the delivered (out of the box) roles and permissions (see Default role permissions). This option also re-creates the delivered roles—with their corresponding default permissions—if you had previously deleted them.
If you choose this option, you must reassign principals (users, groups, or OUs).
This action cannot be undone.
