Manage user roles
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.

Only users with the Customer Cloud Admin, Cross Org Admin, Insider Risk Admin, or Org Admin roles can assign roles to other users.
