Step Three: 

Once a User has been added or found in the list, click the “Edit Info” control icon, scroll down to the “Assign Roles” section of the pop-up window to assign available Roles to the user and click the “Update” button to save.

  • Select all Roles that apply to the User.
  • Deselect Roles you don’t want the user to be assigned to.
  • Keep in mind users get source access to the combined sum of all their Roles added together.

The User is now provisioned for access to content sources based on Roles. See Role Based Access for more information on how to configure Roles in Lucy.
