Manage permissions

Published

December 12, 2024

Permissions dictate user access controls within the ValidMind Platform, and are associated with specific roles. Assign granular permissions to roles according to your organization’s custom requirements.

Prerequisites

Steps

When assigning permissions to roles, ensure they align with the role’s intended responsibilities and access requirements.

Please note that the Customer Admin role has the highest level of access and as such its permissions cannot be modified.

  1. In the left sidebar, click Settings.

  2. Under User Permissions, select Permissions.

  3. Add or delete roles from a specific permission:

    • To assign a role to a permission, click +, then select the permission from the drop-down menu.
    • To remove a role from a permission, click next to the specified role.

    For example, to grant the Developer role the permission to update an existing template:

    1. Locate Update Template under Template.
    2. Click + and select Developer from the drop-down menu.
