Editing a Role
You can edit the settings of existing roles in the corresponding data sheet, for example to change the role's name or to assign more users. Display the list of roles by choosing the Roles menu in the sidebar. The roles list shows all roles and its content is loading dynamically if you scroll down. Filter the list by using the filter bar.
When a role is created during modeling, only the role's name is determined. All other settings have to be inserted in the role's data sheet in the user management.
