Roles and permissions

Add or Edit Roles

To define or edit roles, navigate to User Management and select Roles on the left-hand side. You can then add, copy, change or delete roles.

Editing roles

To change a role, select it from the list or type its name in the search bar. You can then set or remove permissions. Some of these can be enabled as Assigned or Owned. If you select Assigned, the user is allowed to change the items they are assigned to. If you select Owned, the user is allowed to change items that they have created.

Assigned vs Owned

For example, if you define a Developer role for users who should only be able to edit defects that are assigned to them, you would select Assigned in Defect Management - Edit Items and Delete Items.

The option 'Permissions from Licence' allows you to define a role based on a specific licence, if required. This allows you to analyse whether a set of permissions fits a particular licence.
