How to Create Different User Roles for Different Levels of Authority in Ingress & TCMSv3

How to Create Different User Roles for Different Levels of Authority in Ingress & TCMSv3

Introduction
In Ingress or TCMSv3, you have the ability to assign and control what other users can do in the software depending on the responsibility and task assigned to them. However, you will need to consider the role carefully before allowing the users to take on the role, as they might be able to remove other users or change the settings if the settings are turned on.

There is no limit on the number of user roles that you can create in the Ingress or TCMSv3 software.

Before you can create a login account for the users, you will first have to create the user role.

1) Go to System Settings > System User > User Role
2) Click Add Role


3) Name the Role accordingly
