Assigning the Web Tailor Administrator roleYou can run the twadminu.sql script through SQL*Plus to add the Web TailorAdministrator role to an existing Banner ID. This file can be found in the BAN_HOME/wtlweb/plus/ directory.Modifying web roles for existing proceduresWeb roles are delivered as appropriate for baseline product functionality. You may removeWeb roles from pages or add them to pages as you deem appropriate. When you createroles, be sure to save them as local, so future releases do not overwrite them.Keep the following points in mind, particularly if you want to add Web user roles to pagesthat currently do not have that role.Does the page require certain parameters to be passed? Does the Web user role that youare adding have records in the database that can supply the values needed for thoseparameters? If not, then the page will not work for that Web role. For example, you shouldnot add the EMPLOYEE role to the Student Self-Service Add/Drop Classes page. AnEMPLOYEE who does not also have the STUDENT role would not be able to access thepage because the correct record (active general student record) does not exist in thedatabase.You will probably most often remove roles from selected Web pages, particularly in WebGeneral's Personal Information. For example, you may determine that you will permit theroles of EMPLOYEE and FACULTY to update address information, but not STUDENT.As delivered, all three are allowed to update addresses.For example, to remove the STUDENT Web role from Update Address capability, youwould:1. Determine the page where the address information is updated.2. For the package.procedure name for the page, you would select thatpackage.procedure in the Web Menus and Procedures page, then scroll down to theAssociated Roles section.3. Delete the STUDENT role record by clearing the check box next to Student4. Select Save Changes.Adding web roles for new proceduresIf you add a new procedure, you must assign at least one Web role, or none of the userswill be able to access it. You should assign the appropriate roles depending on the purposeof your new procedure, and the Web product it is associated with. Keep in mind thedatabase record requirements as you determine which Web roles are appropriate to add.January 2010 Banner Web Tailor 8.3 5-19User GuideTechnical Reference
