How to set a sub-role invisible from the role

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

Our roles are as following:

Role1

-

---

App1

-

---

App2

-

---

SubRole1

-

---

SubApp1

-

---

SubApp2

We've assigned SubRole1 to Role1, but we don't want it is shown under Role1, how to set it?

Many Thanks and Best Regards,

Hi,

If you do not need these applications/iViews in the navigation hierarchy, then you do not have to do any fancy tricks.

If all Role1 users should get subRole1 iViews, then just have one role and make those iViews invisible.

If you want to be able to assign the iViews in subrole1, just create a second role with no entry point (it does not need to be a subrole) and set the permissions so there is no end user permission, and then assign it to users.

Hope that helps.

Have you considered not including subrole1 under role1, but use mergeids instead?

Hi Michael:

Thank you for your replay. What I want is the user has the rights to access the subRole1, but When the user open the Role1 tab, he can see App1, App2, but he can't see subRole1. The iviews under subRole1 can't be visited directed, can only be navigated from App1.

How to achieve this? Thanks!

So, make a role

role1 - top level (entry point)

--app1 - a folder

-

---

some app 1 options

-

---

subrole1

--app2 - a folder

--app3 - a folder
