Org role and permissions

Users granted access to an organization’s VIP Dashboard are assigned one of three Org roles (in order of most privileges to least): admin, member, and guest.

Admin

  • Intended for a member of the organization who requires the ability to manage user access for all other team members and the ability to manage all of the organization’s applications. Typically assigned to an organization’s account owner.
  • Has all permissions for all of the organization’s applications.

Member

  • Intended for users that need to see more information than basic organization data, but do not necessarily need admin privileges to manage applications. Useful for members of an organization with a business role.
  • Has some permissions for all of the organization’s applications.

Guest

  • Intended for users that should only have access to a limited number of the organization’s applications.
  • Has permission to log in to an organization’s VIP Dashboard with limited visibility. Other permissions are defined by the App role assigned to the user per application.

Assign an Org role

The settings panel for assigning an Org role to a user is accessed by using the “Invite User” process or the “Edit Permissions” process.

Prerequisites

  • Only users with an Org admin role can invite, remove, and manage user access levels for other users in the VIP Dashboard.
  • If an organization currently has no users with the Org admin role, and existing users are unable to view certain features such as the organization’s Usage Plan Details, contact VIP Support for assistance.

By default, the Org “Member” role is selected for a user. Select an Org role (Admin, Member, or Guest) to assign access permission levels to the new users.
