Roles

The User Role Maintenance application is used to manage the roles assigned to SCO terminals. For language selection to display on the welcome screen, the SCO user must have a role that matches the role configured in the SCO_LANGUAGE menu.

Navigate to User Role Maintenance using the Search or the path:

The user role assigned to the SCO terminal must match the role specified when creating the SCO_LANGUAGE menu. If the roles do not match, the language selection buttons will not appear on the welcome screen.

This completes the Roles configuration.
