Creating and populating a new role definition
Role definitions are normally based on a job function in your organization’s workflow. The
tasks and operations that are associated with the role provide the mechanism for granting
permissions to access content or perform actions.

If there are several authorization rules associated with a role definition (for example, it has
several lower level roles and tasks), the authorization rules run synchronously. In
Authorization Manager, the order has no effect on authorization.
To create a new role definition:
1.
Open Authorization Manager.
2. Navigate through the AzMan’s policy store until you reach the Role Definitions folder
(i.e. X
MS A Z M AN S TORE . XML >V ERTIGO M EDIA >D EFINTIONS >R OLE D EFINITIONS )
3. Right-click the R OLE D EFINITION folder and select the N EW R OLE D EFINITION command.
The R OLE D EFINITION dialog box appears (figure 20-39 ).
