Default Security Roles

FarCry ships with a series of default security roles out of the box. These roles are mapped to groups within the default FarCry userdirectory.

Security Roles Can Be Modified To Match Your Requirements

Roles can be remapped, added, removed, or permission pools modified post installation (and frequently are) to match the specific requirements of the deployment in question.
