CIP can be utilized by a wide variety of users. The range of tasks each type of user can perform is controlled through the assignment of roles and permissions. Operations each user type (determined by role) can perform on the CIS database may include such tasks as creating, editing, searching, updating, and deleting parts, etc. Other users, for example, may only require CIP view and search capabilities and have a role where it is unnecessary to modify anything in the CIS/CIP database.
By default, there are four default roles that can be assigned to a CIP user:
•Read Only
•UpdateWithoutDelete
•UpdateWithDelete
•Admin
Additionally, users with permission to define roles can create additional roles or modify the default roles.
The User, Roles & Permissions menu item is only visible to users who are granted permission to modify Users, Roles or Permissions.
