Getting started
Orchestrator roles and permissions required to access and work with Solutions in Automation Cloud.
Permissions for Solutions
Access to Solutions is controlled through Orchestrator roles. To work with solutions, a user must be assigned an appropriate tenant-level role in Orchestrator. Solutions permissions are not granted automatically. An administrator must assign the following required roles to each user or group:
- Solutions Administrator
- Solutions Contributor
Both roles provide access to the Solutions experience in Orchestrator. The level of control depends on the role assigned.
Because Solutions is a tenant-level feature, assigning only folder-level permissions is not sufficient. The user must be assigned the appropriate tenant role.
Role capabilities
The Solutions Administrator role provides full control over solutions at the tenant level, including both packaging and deploying. The Solutions Contributor role is limited to managing solution packages and does not include deployment capabilities.
| Solutions Administrator | Solutions Contributor |

Permissions required to deploy
The Setup form in Orchestrator and the deploy form in Studio Web check your permissions before they enable Deploy. The permission depends on the feed of the package version:
| Package feed | Required permission |
|---|---|
| Tenant | SolutionDeployments.Create, or FolderSolutionDeployments.Create on the destination folder. Install as root folder requires SolutionDeployments.Create. |
| Folder feed | FolderSolutionDeployments.Create on the destination folder. |
| Personal workspace | FolderSolutionDeployments.Create on your personal workspace folder. |
When a permission is missing, Deploy is disabled. A tooltip on Deploy gives the reason, for example You do not have the SolutionDeployments.Create permission required to perform this action. Two other messages can appear:
- Choose a folder to deploy into. Deploying at the tenant root requires the
SolutionDeployments.Createpermission - You do not have permission to create deployments in any folder of this feed
Select a different location, or ask an administrator to grant the permission named in the message.
Accessing the Solutions tab in Orchestrator
When you start building Solutions directly in Studio Web, you need permissions on the Studio Web side. For more information, see the Studio Web user guide.
To access the Solutions tab through Orchestrator, do the following:
- Navigate to your Tenant context in Orchestrator.
- Select the Solutions tab.
