Here are some details to consider when creating user roles:

  • Company Admin – We recommend limiting the number of Company Admin users to only those who require full access, but defining at least two Company Admin users for redundancy.
  • Technical Admin – This role is for technical users who know how to create and approve orders.
  • Technical Contact – This role is for technical users who know how to design and modify services but don’t have the authority to approve orders.
  • Finance – Finance users should have a financial responsibility within the organization while also understanding the consequences of their actions if they delete or approve services.
  • Financial Contact – This user role is similar to the Finance role without the ability to place and approve orders, delete services, or administer service keys.
  • Read Only – Read Only is the most restrictive role. Note that a Read Only user can view service details which you might want to keep secure and private. A user with the read-only role can view service details which might contain information about the service that you want to keep secure and private.

You can add user roles when you create a new user, or you can edit user information to change their role. For details about adding a new user, see Adding and Modifying Child Tenant Account Users.

Note

To edit user credentials, you need Company Admin privileges.
