NOTE: A role indicated in red in the details pane means that the role was deleted while it was still assigned to a user.
Role list
Each role is a collection of privileges which are displayed in the Privileges tab. Several default roles are provided and these appear in the list in italics. These default roles each have a set of predefined privileges which are relevant for these specific roles. If necessary, these roles can be duplicated and the privileges fine-tuned, or new roles can be created from scratch.
The default roles are the following:
Asanti/Prepress Operator
You have access to the main job commands (except Edit Imposition) and to selected Task Processor resources.
Asanti/Prepress Administrator
In addition to most job commands, you also have access to administration and system privileges; you can create and edit Task Processor and ticket templates, and view and manage
Privileges tab
Selecting a role in the Role list displays a breakdown of privileges in the Privileges tab. Privileges are grouped in the following categories:
Job Operations
Commands you can perform on tickets.
Prepress Administration
Commands for managing Task Processors and licensing
System Resources
Commands for managing system resources.
Task Processor Resources
A list of all the Task Processors.
Client Display Options
Use these options to show/hide specified windows or resources in the Asanti client.
Expand a category to display the privileges.
Edit Filter button
Opens the Job Filter where you can fine-tune the privileges even further by specifying a filter to show/hide certain jobs in the Job List for the selected role. For example: user John has the role of Prepress Operator Plant A and can only see jobs whose Job Name contains ‘Plant A’. User Bill has the role of Prepress Operator Plant B and can only see jobs whose Job Name contains ‘Plant B’. See
“Filtering the Job List”. This filter is set for a role so it can be re-used for all users with this role.

To delete a filter you may have set on a role.
