Security Roles

Security roles enable an administrator to set up access for users based on their role in the institution. This enables users who have access privileges to have different permissions compared with users who perform administrative tasks. For more information about security roles, see Microsoft documentation.

Roles that are not prefixed with the text CMC are default or custom roles in Dynamics 365. Roles specific to Anthology Reach are prefixed with the text CMC. These are designed to assist administrators, staff and users to perform their activities in a higher education institution.

Important

Ensure that you do not edit any of the roles to include additional permissions or revoke currently included permissions. To change permissions, copy the role and then edit permissions in the copied role.

Note: These roles serve as a reference and cater to generic requirements in an institution. If your institution’s requirements are different, appropriate permissions need to be given to perform tasks that are specific to your institution.

For more information, see Microsoft Documentation on Sharing Model Driven Application.

Enabling Manager Hierarchy

In addition to assigning security roles to users, it's important to also enable appropriate manager hierarchy setting as defined in the Manager Hierarchy and Position Hierarchy security models. For more information about hierarchy security modeling, see Microsoft documentation.
