SD-WAN Orchestrator consists of user roles with different set of privileges. As an Operator super user, you can assign a pre-defined role to a user. Role Customization allows you to customize the existing set of privileges for the user roles.

To enable or disable a Partner super user to customize the role privileges of other Partner users and Enterprise users of the Partner, see Configure Partner Information.

To enable or disable an Enterprise super user to customize the role privileges of other Enterprise users, see Configure Customers.

The Role customization is applied to the user roles as follows:

  • The customizations done at the Enterprise level will override the customizations made at the Partner or Operator level.
  • The customizations done at the Partner level will override the customizations made at the Operator level.
  • Only when there are no customizations done at the Partner level or Enterprise level, the customizations made by the Operator are applied globally across all users in the SD-WAN Orchestrator.

In the Operator portal, click Role Customization.

You can perform the following operations:

  • Show Current Privileges – Displays the current user role privileges. You can view the privileges of all the user roles and download them in CSV format.
  • New Package – Enables to create a new package with customized role privileges. See Create New Customized Package.
  • Reset to System Default – Allows to reset the current role privileges to default settings. Only the customized privileges applied to the user roles in the Operator portal are reset to the default settings. If your partners or customers have customized their user role privileges in the Partner or Enterprise portal, those settings remain the same.

Click Actions to perform the following activities:

  • Upload Package – Allows to upload a customized package. See Upload Customized Package.
  • Clone Package – Enables to create a copy of the selected package.
  • Modify Package – Enables to edit the customization settings in the selected package. You can also click the link to the package to edit the settings.
  • Delete Package – Removes the selected package. You cannot delete a package if it is already in use.
  • Apply Package – Applies the customization available in the selected package to the existing user roles. This option modifies the role privileges only at the current level. If there are customizations available at the Operator level or a lower level for the same role, then the lower level takes precedence.
You can also click the Download Icon prior to the package name to download the package as a JSON file.
Note: Role customization packages are version dependent, and a package created on an Orchestrator using an earlier software release will not be compatible with an Orchestrator using a later release. For example, a role customization package created on an Orchestrator that is running Release 3.4.x does not work properly if the Orchestrator is upgraded to a 4.x Release. Also, a role customization package created on an Orchestrator running Release 3.4.x does not work properly when the Orchestrator is upgraded to 4.x.x Release. In such cases, the user must review and recreate the role customization package for the newer release to ensure proper enforcement of all roles.
