What is Custom Role Management in Admin Center?
Custom Role Management is a feature that empowers Admin and User Manager roles to manage roles and their associated permissions. These roles have the ability to edit permissions for existing roles, create new roles by duplicating existing ones, and manage the names and descriptions of roles within their account.
How does Custom Role Management work?
With Custom Role Management, administrators can select from a list of permissions to create or modify roles. The permissions are available in an "a la carte" style, allowing administrators to choose the specific permissions they want to assign to a role.
To access the Custom Role Management Feature first ensure you're logged in as an administrator and have navigated to the Admin Center from your Settings in Manage.
Next, click Roles using the button on the left side pane menu:

Note: It is crucial to review and test the permissions assigned to each role to ensure they align with the intended access levels and responsibilities. Our customer support channels are available to assist and address any questions or concerns regarding the functionality and impact of permissions.
