About the predefined Discovery Accelerator roles

You assign roles to users to determine what they can access and the activities that they can perform in Discovery Accelerator. Some roles are effective at the application level, across the entire Discovery Accelerator system, whereas others apply at the case level or folder level only.

When a case is created, only its owner can access it. Other users do not see the case until the owner grants at least one permission that is related to it. Discovery Accelerator roles provide a logical way to group multiple specific permissions according to job function.

Table: Predefined roles describes the predefined roles that come with Discovery Accelerator. If none of these roles precisely meets your needs, you can create your own.
