Roles are designed for use in Scheer PASBPaaS. BPaaS designers use roles in EPC models to create approval workflows where designated user groups are only allowed to execute specific process steps instead of the whole process. Roles can be created in the Scheer PASBPaaS editor during modelling as well as in the Scheer PASAdministration. However, roles can only be managed using your Scheer PASAdministration: In Menu Roles you can create, rename and translate roles. The Administration is also the only place where administrators can assign roles to users.
Further information about the design of role-based apps can be found in the BPaaS Guide. In chapter Role-based Authorization Concept the application of roles is explained in detail.
Menu "Roles"
Menu Roles allows to create new roles and to edit existing ones.
The Roles menu provides you with two options:

The names inserted in those fields will be shown in Scheer PASBPaaS according to the language selected for the BPaaS user interface.

UUID: The UUID allows to identify the role.
Created at: Contains the creation date of the role.
