On the Roles page, manage the roles that you assign to users on the platform by editing their details and/or deleting them entirely.

Editing roles

Once you've created a role, you can change its name and update its description accordingly through the Edit function.

Note: For instructions on how to change a role's permissions, refer to Updating role permissions.

To edit a role:

  1. Navigate to User management > Roles and locate the role you want to edit in the list.
  2. Select the ellipses in the row and then select Edit.
  3. In the dialog, edit the Name and/or Description as needed.
  4. Select Update.

The role will be updated immediately and the changes displayed in the Roles list.

Deleting roles

When you delete a role, it is removed from the users and/or groups it had been assigned to. Deleting a role does not delete the users or groups to which it is assigned.

Important: When deleting a role, the users/groups to which it is assigned will lose the access permissions associated with the role. Be aware that users assigned to the role may gain access permissions if the role included a Deny rule.

To delete a role:

  1. Navigate to
  2. User management > Roles and locate the role you want to edit in the list.
  3. Select the ellipses in the row and then select Delete.
  4. In the dialog, select Delete role to confirm.

The role will be permanently deleted from the platform.
