The base system admin can elevate to a privileged role to have access to the features
of High Security Settings.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin  
Hinweis:  
If you grant additional users the admin role, they cannot elevate to a privileged role. Only the base system admin can elevate.

## Prozedur

1. In the banner frame, click your image, or click your initials if you do not have an image uploaded.
2. Select Elevate Roles.  
   A dialog box appears that contains available roles for elevation.
3. Select the elevated roles to be assigned and click OK.  
   This role grants the user elevated privileges to all resources controlled by the role for the remainder of the session. When the user logs out, the elevated privileges are terminated with the session but may be reestablished at the next login.
4. End role elevation by returning to the dialog box in step 2, and deselecting the role.
