JumpSeat uses roles to determine what a user can and cannot do in both the administration console and the guide creation website overlay. These roles are associated with permissions; if assigned to more than one group, JumpSeat combines the allow access attributes for determining what that user should have access to.

To manage role permissions follow these simple steps:

1. Login to JumpSeat to reveal the application landing page, or click the Home button from the main menu
2. Select an application to manage by clicking the application name, “View Guides”, or “View Pathways”
3. Click the “Roles” menu link from the main navigation on the left hand side
4. Select your role by clicking the role card icon
5. Click the “Permissions” tab
6. Click each slider in the permission list to determine what that role should, or should not have access to.

Each role can be tailored to its needs by managing its permissions. When you click on a role from the role management screen, the last tab labeled “PERMISSIONS” will bring you to the permissions configuration interface. Each permission can be toggled on or off, granting or revoking each specific permission the users within the role.

When users within this role are granted a permission, the switch will be set to on position as shown by the green color. However, when users within this role have that permission revoked, the switch will be set to the off position as shown by the red color. When a user role has been revoked, they will no longer have the permissions of that role. However, all permissions on other roles are still present.

The following permissions can be customized for each role:
