Add External Data Role to Global Roles

The External Data role type is available with dspCompose™, but an external role should be manually added to the global roles before adding it to a template.

To add the External Data role:

  1. Select Configuration > Roles on the Navigation pane.

  2. Click Add.

    View the field descriptions for the Roles page.

  3. Enter a value in PRIORITY field.

    NOTE: The PRIORITY determines the order the roles are processed in a request. The initial role in the template should have the lowest priority. This value can be changed at the template level.

  4. Enter a name for the role in ROLE ID field.

    NOTE: This name displays on pages throughout dspCompose™.

  5. Enter a brief description of the role in DESCRIPTION field.

  6. Select External Data from the ROLE TYPE list box.

    NOTE: An External Data role is another type of Data role.

  7. Click Save.
