Manage users
permission
All roles available and the permissions granted via the roles are
displayed in the User Interface in the
Roles
page.
Depending on the system level permission you've chosen, you can assign different permissions for any new role you create. For example, you can create an Organization management role type and name it, say, "Operations", to which grant permissions such as the capability to view all internal notifications, or to manage other users.
While LogScale comes with a predefined set of roles — Admin, Member and Deleter — they may be customized to your specific needs. Keep in mind that it's generally a good idea to grant as few permissions as possible and to add more as needed.
Note
You need to be an Organization Owner on Cloud or a root user on
on-premise installations to have access to the
Roles
page and assign roles to users. Or
you need to have the Change user access
permission:

Aggregate Permissions
When you've defined more than one role under a Repository and View, Organization or Cluster, you can get a combined view of the available permissions for all roles — all permissions in a specific repository, for example. This gives you an overview if you want to know exactly which permissions you have.
Click on your profile avatar in the upper right corner and select Organization Settings →
Users
on the left.Select one of the users that have multiple roles assigned and click on your repository.
Click the
button: the list of aggregated permissions will be displayed on the right.Figure 77. Aggregate permissions
