User Roles
User roles allow you to determine what privileges an employee will have when they log in to the Discover dashboard. Discover supports two types of roles, system roles and custom roles.
Some of the role functionality described in this section depends on the Gimmal Discover subscription level. For example, the system role eDiscovery Reviewer is only applicable if a subscription includes eDiscovery.
System Roles
These roles are pre-defined in Discover and are not modifiable by a customer. They include:
Administrator - provides full control over all of the Discover functionality
Discovery Reviewer - provides access to eDiscovery only. Allows search results to be reviewed and labeled for collection purposes. Other features are limited to ‘view only’ access.
Policy Administrator - provides full access to Data Governance and limited access to features in Administration. Administration access is limited to features related to Data Governance policies (i.e. data target searches, group management, Connector setup, etc.)
User - provides ‘view only’ access to any Gimmal Discover area that is included in the subscription.
Custom Roles
This feature allows administrators to create User Roles that provide specific privileges as dictated by their organizational needs. To begin, click on the Administration link at the top of the dashboard then select the Roles link found under the User Setup area in the left navigation pane:

Hover over the Action button and select Add to begin creating a new role. Enter a name for the new role, then select the areas of Discover that a user with this role can access by checking the on/off boxes.
Data Governance, Classification, eDiscovery, Analytics, and Administration - these options permit access to the components shown at the top of the dashboard.
Settings - check this box to allow access to the Discover settings (under the gear-shaped icon found in the upper right-hand corner of the dashboard) along with some other user interface options like notifications
Logs - check this box to indicate that the role should allow access to the green log file link shown in the upper right-hand corner of the Discover dashboard
Modules - check this box if the role should have access to the Administration area of Discover.

After checking the ‘on’ box for a module, click the ellipses (…) link to view a list of chips that correspond to the specific privileges available for the module. Clicking a specific privilege chip will toggle that privilege on for the role. After configuring the desired privileges, click the Add button to save the selections. The following sections provide more detail on the privileges available in each module.
