Nailing the Security Audit with RRCU

ConductorOne docs

User roles

User roles make sure that ConductorOne users have the correct permissions — and only those permissions — needed to perform their assigned tasks.

Roles and their permissions

ConductorOne’s user roles let you assign users permissions tailored to the work they do.

Default roles

The person who initially sets ConductorOne up for your company is given the Super Administrator role. After that, all users who sign into ConductorOne for the first time are automatically given the Basic User role. You can keep these roles as-is, or assign new roles depending on what each user needs to get done.

Assign a user a new role

You can change any user’s role assignment on the Users page. Users can have more than one role, and a user is granted all the permissions of every role they’re assigned.

This task requires the Super Administrator role in ConductorOne.

  1. In the navigation panel, open Admin and click Users.

  2. Locate the name of the user whose role you want to change.

  3. From the more actions menu, select Change role.

  4. Select one or more user roles to assign to the user.

  5. Click Save.

What’s next?

All ConductorOne users can be assigned access request and access review tasks. But some users, such as executives, folks out on extended leave, or contractors, should not be assigned these tasks. Go to Delegate a user’s tasks to set up delegates for users who cannot or should not be assigned ConductorOne tasks.
