# Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters

The `[AuthorizationRoles]` section contains definitions for roles that enable particular sets of actions for particular clients, SSL identities, and GSS principals.

You must create a subsection for each authorization role that you define in the `[AuthorizationRoles]` configuration section.

You define the permissions that a particular role has by using StandardRoles, or by specifying the Actions and ServiceActions that you want the role to be able to use. You define the users that belong to a particular role by using Clients, GSSPrincipals, and SSLIdentities.

If a connection matches one of the allowed clients, principals, or SSL identities, they have permission to perform the operations allowed by the role.

For example:

    [AuthorizationRoles]
    0=AdminRole
    1=IDOLUserRole
    2=StatusOnlyRole

    [AdminRole]
    StandardRoles=Admin,ServiceControl
    Clients=localhost
    SSLIdentities=admin.example.com
    GSSPrincipals=CONTENT01/admin.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM

    [IDOLUserRole]
    StandardRoles=User,ServiceStatus
    SSLIdentities=admin.example.com,userserver.example.com
    GSSPrincipals=CONTENT01/admin.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM,CONTENT02/userserver.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM

    [StatusOnlyRole]
    ServiceActions=GetStatus
    SSLIdentities=general.example.com

You can use the ShowPermissions action to check the permissions for a user.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure that you delete any deprecated `RoleClients` parameters from your configuration (where `Role` corresponds to a standard role name) to ensure Content Manager Connector allows only your authorization role permissions.
