Assign Security Roles

(Navigate to < Approve/Deny a Security Request | I-Star Admin User Guide | Landing Page >)

This layer of security allows a district or coop administrator to assign specific roles to I-Star users.

Once all of your I-Star Plus users have established IWAS accounts and logged into I-Star Plus at least once, the District Security Administrator can assign security roles to all the users on their behalf.

To assign specific roles to I-Star Plus users follow the steps below:

To assign security roles, a user must first be a District Security Administrator. Once access is established, click on the Utilities dropdown error and select User Search/Permissions.

NOTE: To request a specific security role within I-Star, uses must contact a current District Security Administrator to assign the roles.

Select the IWAS User Id name to view/edit user roles.

Click Modify to edit and/or assign user roles.

Select the type of role that you would like this user to have by clicking the appropriate button in the Current Access column.

District superintendents and/or cooperative directors are the only IWAS users that can manage security in the IWAS system. Since this may be a time-consuming task, they may delegate this responsibility to another user or users in their district or cooperative for I-Star. Select the button under the current access column under the District Security Administrator box.

Click the Save radio button and then click Save.
