Select multiple Users from the drop-down list. 

 

Select Authorization by their app roles from the drop-down list. Using the Users/Roles filter provided here, you may grant access to specific users and/or application roles. 

 

Click the Save button, and a confirmation message will appear in the top right-end corner.
