Documentation for Crowd 2.2. Documentation for other versions of Crowd is available too.

Provided that you are authorised to use Crowd, you can see a list of the roles to which your username is assigned.

To see which roles you have been assigned,

  1. Log in to Crowd.
  2. If you are not a Crowd administrator, you can skip this step because you will go directly to the Crowd Self-Service Console.
    • If you are a Crowd administrator, the Crowd Administration Console will open. Click the 'My Profile' link in the top navigation bar.
  3. The Crowd Self-Service Console will open. Click 'Roles' in the left-hand menu.
  4. The 'Roles' screen will appear, as shown in the screenshot below.

What is a Role?

Roles are not often used in Crowd. Correctly speaking a role is a collection of permissions, while a group is a collection of users. Currently in Crowd, roles are not clearly defined and are not used much.

Each role appears only once

Even if you are a member of the same role in more than one directory, the role name will appear only once on this screen. More explanation: In most cases, your username will be defined in one user directory only. But some organisations may have more than one user directory. For example, your username may be defined in Crowd as a Crowd administrator, and also in another Crowd-connected directory (e.g. LDAP). In addition, you may then be a member of the same role (e.g. 'hr-admin') in both directories. On the Crowd 'Roles' screen, the role 'hr-admin' will appear only once.
