Step 1: Create a User Role That Will Be Your Template

For instructions on creating user roles see these articles:

• User Roles: An Overview of User Role Features
• User Roles: How to Create User Roles

Any user role can be made into a template, but when setting up your CORE system, we recommend defining a base set of user roles that you can use as templates.

1. These roles should be named Template_Role Description.
2. The Role Info page should be complete.

3. If applicable, View and Edit Access Rules should be created, generically named, and the tags selected. Conditions and values will be empty until applied to an actual production or business group.

4. A User Access Rule should be created, also left empty and to be added on creation.

Step 2: Save That User Role to Your User Role Templates Folder

Select the role or roles you want to save to your own user role templates.

1. Open the role
2. Select the save icon
3. Add or rename the template to your individual templates folder
4. Save the template

It'll now be listed in your personal templates folder.

When ready to create a new role from template: 

1. Select the +New User Role button
2. Go to your user roles template folder
3. Select the template you want to use
4. The template will populate the settings and rules into the new role
5. Give the new role a name
   1. Example Production Name_Dept_Inbox Uploader; Project Name_Inbox Uploader; etc
6. Save it
