Roles

A user's permission is determined by their role. There are five pre-defined roles: Administrator, Manager, Application Manager, Tester, and Reporting Viewer that cannot be modified or deleted. An administrator assigns users to asset groups. Administrators have the ability to change the default user role to any role (except Administrator), including a custom role. Users who have the permission to manage and invite other users cannot assign them a role that is higher than their own role. For example, a Manager cannot invite a user and assign them an Administrator role. Additionally, a user cannot invite someone to a role that has privileges that the inviting user does not have.

Note: The Administrator role is assigned to a user when your organization is created at the Cloud Marketplace. The Administrator can perform tasks in any asset group; all other user roles including the Manager can perform tasks in only the asset groups to which they have been assigned. HCL recommends you specify at least one other user as a backup Administrator.
