Roles in Tarantella

Roles are used in Tarantella to allocate and restrict who can perform certain tasks. Only those users occupying a given role may perform the tasks associated with that role.

Associated with a role are a set of webtop links. These links appear on the webtops of all users occupying that role, in addition to the links those users normally see.

You define who occupies a role, and the extra links they see, using role objects.

Available roles

There is one role available as standard with Tarantella: the Global Administrators role.

• Users occupying the Global Administrators role are Tarantella Administrators, who can configure any part of Tarantella. They can run both Object Manager and Array Manager, as well as all tarantella commands.
• Users without any explicit role have no administration privileges.
