User Defined Roles

User Defined Roles let you create custom roles tailored to your tenant's specific access requirements — going beyond what the system defined roles offer. You can base a new role on an existing system defined role template and then adjust its permissions, or create a completely new role from scratch with only the permissions you need. Each role has granular, capability-level permissions that control access to specific platform features and actions. The Web Portal Access option lets you control whether a role has full UI access or API-only access, which is useful for service accounts or integration users. This flexibility ensures that every user has exactly the level of access they need — no more, no less.

To create new roles

  1. In the menu, click Roles. The Roles page appears.

  2. In the User Defined Roles tab, click New Role. The New Role page appears.
