Managing Roles
A role in Hub is a set of permissions. Roles are applied to groups on a per-project basis (that is: within specified projects).
User accounts inherit roles from the groups they are a member of, but also can have individual roles.
In addition to Hub-specific roles, roles are imported from the services that are connected to Hub. You can create and manage roles in the Administration > Roles section of Hub's UI:
Predefined Roles
Hub is bundled with four predefined roles: Admin, Developer, Reporter, and Observer.
The following table provides an overview of the predefined roles:
| Predefined role | Permissions |
