# User Roles

## Purpose

The User Role form displays a list of roles programmed in the MiVoice Business system.

Use the User Role form to

- Quickly add, change or delete role data, using a single form.

- Easily add a large number of new roles by importing configuration information from a spreadsheet to your MiVoice Business database.

- Associate a role with a User and Service Template.

A role connects a user with the set of responsibilities and tasks defined in the User and Service Templates form.

Use this form when performing the following tasks:

- Adding User Role

- Changing User Role

- Deleting User Role

## Conditions

- A user role can be associated with only one template; however, a template can be associated with multiple roles.

- Users in the same role can have different services (multiple services can be added to one user).

- In a network that includes MiVoice Business Release 7.0 and older systems, templates and user roles are shared. However, only roles associated with the Default or a pre-Release 7.0 template are shared with pre-Release 7.0 systems. Roles associated with 7.0 templates are NOT shared with older systems, which do not support 7.0 templates.
