A role is a named set of permissions you assign to users and teams. For the access model, common role patterns, and provisioning, see Users and permissions.

Create a role

  1. In ION, go to Settings > Roles & Permissions.
  2. Click New Role.
  3. Enter a name for the role and click Create Role.
ION creates the role and opens its detail page. The role has no permissions yet.

Archive or unarchive a role

Archiving a role hides it from the roles list without deleting it.
  1. In ION, go to Settings > Roles & Permissions.
  2. In the role’s actions menu, click Archive.
To bring an archived role back, check Show archived to list archived roles with the active ones, then click Unarchive in the role’s actions menu.

Delete a role

  1. In ION, go to Settings > Roles & Permissions.
  2. In the role’s actions menu, click Delete Role.
  3. In the confirmation dialog, click Delete.
Deleting a role also removes it from every user and team it’s assigned to, which can remove those users’ access. Deletion can’t be undone.
