Thank you for your feedback
Permissions are granted to Itential Cloud user accounts and Service Accounts via membership in groups. A group contains a collection of roles in which each role corresponds to a permission. A user account or Service Account that is associated with a group inherits any permissions granted by the roles assigned to that group.
To view and manage groups, select Administration → Groups from portal sidebar.
Default Groups
Every Itential Cloud account comes with the built in admins and users groups.
| Group | Description |
|---|---|
| admins | By default, this group is configured to have all possible roles assigned to it. You must be careful about which users you assign to this group because they will have full permissions. |
| users | By default, this groups is configured with read-only roles assigned to it. |
While Itential Cloud provides these built in groups, you are free to modify or delete them to suit your organizational security needs.
