Checking the permissions included in a User Role

You can enable or disable permissions in a User Role and create new ones if you have the Advanced User Management feature. See the articles below for more information on how to customise your User Roles:

Note: User Role permissions relate to actions and access to certain areas of the platform; the permissions list does not provde information about which Projects a user can acccess.

Project access is defined by user scopes applied to individual users. For more information about the different access scopes, see Using access scopes to limit a user's access to Projects.

Each User Role has an indicator that shows a quick overview of the scale of permissions in each category.

eluauthor-permissions-all-icon Indicates all permissions in that category have been enabled

eluauthor-permissions-some-icon Indicates some permissions in that category have been enabled

eluauthor-permissions-none-icon Indicates that none of the permissions in that category have been enabled

You can also see how many users are assigned to a user role in the Users column. This can be helpful to quickly understand the scale of a potential change to permissions.
