Overview
This article describes how to remove or assign user roles to specific Code42 accounts so you can set up role-based access control for your Code42 environment. Managing who has access to Code42 resources is an important security aspect of any Code42 environment.
Code42 includes a pre-existing set of user roles or privileges that can be applied to user accounts. These built-in user roles include a fine-grained set of permissions to ensure users only have access to the resources they need.
Considerations
Only users with the Customer Cloud Admin, Cross Org Admin, or Org Admin roles can assign roles to other users.

The email includes:
- The Code42 username of the person assigned the administrator role
- The role assigned
- The Code42 organization the assignee belongs to
- The date and time of the role assignment
- The Code42 username of the person who made the role assignment
