User roles

Overview of how to manage User roles in Typhoon Test Hub.

User role encapsulates a group of permissions which can be assigned to the user. Instead of defining custom role with permissions for each user, you can create a new user role with set of permissions and assign that role to the users.

Figure 1. User roles table

The User roles table (Figure 1) shows the role name for each role.

Note: By clicking on the button, columns of the table can be customized - hidden or shown depending on the preference. Columns of the table can be reordered by using drag and drop in the table header. When positioning cursor in between two columns, cursor for column resizing will show and enable change of the column's width. All changes made to the table will be automatically preserved.
Note: By inserting text in the Search input field, the table rows are filtered. Filtering is done based on the textual content of the table cells. By clicking on the button, the Search input field is cleared and filtering is cancelled.
