Role Permissions
Settings > Licensing & Users > Role Permissions: pick a role, then allow or deny grouped capabilities; reset to default or save changes.
Role Permissions
Configure role-based access controls for the platform.
You choose a role on the left, then enable or disable permissions for that role on the right. Changes apply after you save.
Where to find everything: Administration Settings.
Layout
- Roles (left) — list of roles with a count of assigned permissions (for example Administrator — 30 permissions). Select one role to edit.
- Permissions (right) — checkboxes grouped by capability area for the selected role.
Actions
- Reset to default — restore the selected role to built-in defaults.
- Save changes — persist permission edits.
Permission groups (examples)
Exact labels vary by version; groups often include areas such as:
- Test case management — create, remove, modify, or view API test cases.
- Workflow management — create or remove workflows, view details, approve or reject (where applicable).
- Test execution — manual execution, view logs, trigger CI/CD integrations.
- Scheduling — schedule runs, modify scheduled executions.
- Reporting — view reports, export formats, analytics access.
- Environment management — environment-related setup and maintenance.
How to assign safely
- Start from least privilege.
- Add permissions by responsibility (builders vs operators vs read-only).
- Review assignments periodically.
- After edits, use Save changes before switching roles or leaving the page.
Default roles (typical)
| Role | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Administrator | Full platform administration |
| Contributor | Build and maintain tests in assigned scope |
| Environment manager | Environment configuration |
| Reader | View-only |
| Reviewer | Review or approve workflows where enabled |
Your deployment may show different or additional roles.
Best practices
- Keep the administrator role small and monitored.
- Use Public API allowed roles together with RBAC for automation accounts.
- Pair RBAC with Audit Logs.
