Types and roles of users

Types and roles of users

User access rights are delimited through:

  • user-types, which define where the account will be used — in the dashboard or for authorized access via APIs and automation tools;
  • user roles, which define accesses within each user type.

Add and edit users can only be accessed by users with the Account Owner or User Administrator role.

User types and roles are temporarily unsupported in network and add-on services.

Types of users

The user type is specified at add user and cannot be changed:
