Cannot edit role name as System Administrator (Developer instance)

[Antonio Marques]

Hi everyone,

Im trying to follow some tutorial steps through Now Learning and it seems Im not able to change the role name, even logged as System Administrator.

I'm using a developer instance, am I doing something wrong?

Hi @Antonio Marques ,

Ideally you should be able t change the name.

Try checking the following points:

• Elevate your privilege and then try to edit.
• Configure dictionary of the name and check if Read only is enabled.
• If above options are not applicable then may be there is some customizations which is preventing this edit.

Regards,

Hi @Mahesh Kumar , thanks for your reply. 

I found out that there was an access control rule created to the name field of Roles table thanks to your tip to see in the dictionary, curiously this rule came created and actived out of the box of the developer instance.

For those who face the same, I just deactivated the Access Control rule in Tables>sys_user_role>Name field.

Thank you all for your efforts on this post, it helped me.
I would like to suggest a slightly safer method:

1. Tick the "Admin overrides" field.

2. Save it, then make your role name edit and save.

3. Then, untick "Admin overrides" and save.

Keeping things tidy with ACL rules is a good practice.
