Roles in Reflection Gateway

You can assign roles to any group in the ReflectionGateway directory. To enable users to perform tasks, assign them to a group with the required role or roles enabled.

  • To log on to Gateway Administrator, a user must have at least one of these roles enabled.

  • To view the roles assigned to a user, select the user in the Users list and click Edit. See Roles inherited from group membership at the bottom of the Edit User page.

  • The default Administrators group has all roles enabled. In addition, members of this group can view all Transfer Sites and Jobs. Only members of this group have this privilege; all other users can view only those Jobs they have created and Transfer Sites they have the right to manage.

  • The default File Transfer Administrators group has Manage transfer sites, Manage jobs, and Manage Reflection Gateway users enabled.
