How come there's never been a way to manage the security roles in Able? Wouldn't be helpful to be able to add to the Roles list?

Howdy Joe,

I guess it's not been requested much, so I'd suggest clicking the feedback tab in gold and request it. Be sure to outline what were missing that you'd be wanting to add in regards to new roles.

I would think that for each new role added, you'd have to go through a page by page list of files and/or folders that would get access through the new role. For example, the super admin can see all admin pages, but the admin is excluded from viewing certain pages or performing certain functions like the following:

An Admin role
- cannot view other admin user profiles
- cannot assign admin permissions to other users
- cannot view the audit log
- cannot change installation settings or encryption key

I suppose the developers thought it might be easier to use the web.config file to change roles on a individual basis.
