Check the default roles and permissions

Rencore Governance comes with four default roles, Owner, Admin, Contributor and Reader, each of which permits different functions within the tool. Check what each role can do before you invite a user or create a custom role.

Before you begin

• Your role needs the Manage users permission to open the users and roles in the product, which the Admin and Owner roles have. See Rencore roles.

Steps

1. Go to Settings > Users & Roles.
2. Click Roles. The list shows the four default roles and any custom roles.
3. Compare the roles with the descriptions under “Default roles” below. Each one links to the full list of its permissions.

Default roles

Owner

The Owner manages the entire Workspace within Rencore Governance and has the highest level of permission. This role is automatically assigned to the user who sets up Rencore Governance. For every permission of the Owner, see Owner.

Admin

This role is similar to that of the Owner: the user can administer the Workspace and add new users. However, this role cannot delete Workspaces nor change owners. It is the second-highest role available. For every permission of the Admin, see Admin.

Contributor

A Contributor can create and modify dashboards, tiles, policies and automations. This role does not have permission to edit the Workspace or add users. For every permission of the Contributor, see Contributor.

Reader

A Reader can only read the information present in Rencore Governance. This role has the lowest level of permission available. For every permission of the Reader, see Reader.
