Administering Roles
The role administration form is accessible via the main menu. Select Admin->Roles. This menu item may be disabled for users that do not have administrative permissions.
Roles Overview
Roles are required in order to add users. By default, Speed Test comes with two roles which cannot be removed, the Admin role and the Web Only role. Both can be renamed, but cannot be deleted or edited except for the name.
Adding a role
To add a role, click the plus sign next to the list of roles. Enter a description and use the up or down arrows to increase or decrease permissions for each of the permissions, Environments, Releases, Plans, Users, Roles and Server Options. Plan permissions also cover suites and test cases. The maximum (administrative) permissions are VECD, indicating permission to View, Edit, Create and Delete. Optionally, check the 'Web View Only' checkbox. Checking this checkbox will cause Speed Test to ignore any permissions and only permit access to the reporting application. Since users with this role cannot log into the desktop application, they will not appear in the list of Testers when assigning test cases.
Deleting a role
To delete a role, click the minus sign next to the list of roles. The selected role will be permanently deleted. If one or more users have been assigned this role, the role cannot be deleted until the users have been assigned a different role. This action cannot be undone, so use care.
Editing a role
To edit a role, select the role in the list and click the edit icon at the bottom of the form. All fields, including the description may be edited.
Permissions
Only users with the proper permissions may administer releases. Depending on the assigned role, one or more of the icons may be disabled.
