Configure Access for a User Account

On this page:

View Access Permissions

The access permissions for a user account are displayed on the Access tab of the account profile. Here, you can view which roles and permissions are assigned to the account.

Switch between three views to see the various slices of the access configuration of the account:

  • Access rights by project — see to which projects the account has the access.

  • Roles — see the list of roles granted to the account. Select the role to view in which project it was granted and by what means (e.g. the account is a member of the New Users group, and thus inherits the role).
