Data Access Role Manager

The Data Access Role Manager is used to edit the access role hierarchy and to manage all data access roles in the application. It is typically used to make modifications to the access roles after the initial access role setup by the Data Access Control Wizard. The access role manager is accessible through the command "Manage Data Access Roles" in the Security menu, but will only be available after the initial data access control setup.

The dialog looks like this:
