User Role Operations
When assigning operations to a user role, certain operations require additional (dependent) operations to be included for the specified operation to function correctly. In the table below, the Dependent Operation column identifies the dependent operations. For example, to correctly include the Change DataBlock Connection operation, the user role must also have the View Explorer Tree and Edit DataBlock operations.
The Report Viewer, Report Writer, and DataBlock Designer columns identify the operations that are assigned to these default system roles.
