System administrators can create new role names to be used in the Contact Directory for informational purposes, but these new roles are labels and not mapped to any access capabilities. This function may be useful if you only need users to be able to identify these people by searching for departmental roles, but otherwise we recommend not assigning roles that are not one of the six functional roles described under Role Definitions.
Adding a Role
- In the menu, click on More, and then click Manage Roles beneath Research Contacts.
- Beneath Role Management, enter a new role into the field.
- Click Add Role.
Deleting a Role
- Under Role Management, click Remove next to the role you wish to delete.
- A confirmation box will appear. If the role is currently assigned to any personnel, you will have the option of reassigning the personnel to a different role. Click Remove to confirm deletion of the role.
The following roles are functional roles required by the Cayuse Research Suite and cannot be removed:
- Award Data Access
- IPF Approver
- Pre-Award Spending Approver
- Proposal Data Access
- Research Account Manager
- Role Manager
