Roles and Rights

Everything someone may do in your Tenant comes from Rights. A Right allows one thing, such as managing users. Rights are only ever added: a user may do what any of their Roles allows.

A Role bundles Rights. Every Tenant starts with two Roles, called presets:

  • Admin holds every Right from managing users to off-boarding the Tenant, but neither of the Rights on all Data Sources.
  • Member holds the Right to register Personal Integrations.

You may change the Rights of both presets, but you can’t rename or delete them. Your Tenant can also have Roles of its own.

You need the Right to manage Roles and Rights for everything on this page. Admins hold it.

Some of these Rights guard features that are still to come. You can already put them into Roles, and they take effect as the features arrive.

In the Admin App, open Roles. You see the presets first, then your Tenant’s own Roles, each with its Rights and the Groups it is given to. Members of those Groups hold the Role’s Rights too.

  1. Select New Role.
  2. Enter a name. No two Roles may have the same name.
  3. Select the Rights the Role holds.
  4. Select Save.

Select the pencil next to a Role. Change its name or its Rights, then select Save. A preset keeps its name.

A change takes effect at once. Users with the Role don’t need to sign in again.

Select the bin next to one of your Tenant’s own Roles, then Delete. Users with the Role lose its Rights at once. The presets can’t be deleted.

Your Tenant always keeps someone who can manage Roles

Section titled “Your Tenant always keeps someone who can manage Roles”

The Admin App refuses a change that would leave no active user with the Right to manage Roles and Rights, for example taking that Right from the Admin Role while nobody else holds it. Give the Right to another active user first.

Every change to a Role is recorded in your Tenant’s Audit Log, with who made it and which Rights were given or taken.
