Roles

A user role defines a user’s capability to access the modules and carry out functions under the role rights. Admin, QA Manager, Read only, and Tester are the default roles provided by QMetry.

A QMetry Admin can create custom roles in addition to the default roles. They can then assign these roles to users when adding them to QMetry projects.

After you sign in, the application displays only the modules and features that your assigned role permits.

Creating a User Role

Make this the default role for new LDAP/SAML users: Select the check-box to make the role to be assigned by default to every new LDAP/SAML user for the Project.

  3. In the Create Roles screen, enter the following details:

    • Role Title: Enter name of the user role.

    • Role Description: Enter description of the user role.

  4. Allocate the rights for each module.

    The permissions are grouped into the following sections on the screen: Module Permissions, Administration, Automation, QMetry Intelligence, and System Settings.Module PermissionsAdministration PermissionsAutomation PermissionsQMetry IntelligenceSystem Settings

    Admin can Apply or Clear all rights using the following buttons:

    • Apply All Rights: Assign all rights of all modules to the Role at once. 

    • Clear All Rights: Unselect the selected Permission check boxes in one go.

  5. Select Create.
