Adding user roles in bulk

You can add multiple user roles at one time with specified permissions for each role so that you can control which actions users can perform in the Pentaho Data Mastering application, based on their assigned role.

To create multiple user roles at one time, import a JSON file that contains all the information for the user roles.

Perform the following steps to create multiple user roles in bulk:

1. On the left navigation menu, click Master Data. The Master Data page opens.

2. In the Users card, click Roles. The Roles page opens.

3. Click Add Role > Import User Role(s). The Import User Role(s) dialog box opens.

4. Browse to and select the JSON file that contains the user roles information to import.

   Tip: You can drag and drop the JSON file into the Import User Role(s)dialog box.

5. Click Continue.

   A confirmation message appears in the top-right corner of the page and the new user roles are added to the user roles table.
