Automation Cloud admin guide
You can manage and assign service-level roles from within each service as long as you have the appropriate permissions in the service.
For example, users with the Administrator role in Orchestrator can create and edit roles, and assign roles to existing accounts.
The Manage access user interface (UI) keeps a consistent appearance across all scopes.
The following table illustrates how the Manage access UI looks like for each scope:
Scope |
Manage access UI |
---|---|
Organization |
|
Tenant |
|
Service |
|
Project |
|
As an organization administrators, you can navigate to Manage access at organization level to assign tenant-level roles.
To view the role definition and the permissions granted, take the following steps:
- Navigate to Manage access.
- In the Roles tab, select the View button next to the role.
You can assign an organization-level role to a user, group, robot account, or external application. To assign a role, take the following steps:
- Navigate to Manage access, then
- in the Role assignments tab, search for the account you want to assign the role to and choose the appropriate role.
- Select Assign.
Tenant-level roles can be assigned at tenant level and can have granted permissions up to the service level.
Organization Administrators or other Tenant Administrators can view the Manage access screen.
- Navigate to Manage access.
- In the Roles tab, select the View button next to the role.
- Navigate to Manage access.
- In the Role assignments tab, search for the account you want to assign the role to and choose the appropriate role.
- Select Assign.
Tenant Administrator role visibility at service level
The Tenant Administrator role assignment is visible both at tenant and individual service level. At the service level, the Tenant Administrator role has the following properties:
-
It is shown with a platform role label.
-
It is immutable, implying that you cannot remove the assignment at the service level.
-
In some services, such as Orchestrator, there is a link next to the role that redirects you to the Manage access page at platform level, where you can change the tenant-level role assignments.
You can manage and assign service-level roles from within the services. You can assign roles to groups (recommended), or to accounts that have already been added.

Assigning roles to an account
If you want to control the access a certain account has in a service at a more granular level, but you do not want to add new roles to an entire group, you can explicitly add the account to the service and assign one or more service-level roles to it directly.
For information about the available roles and instructions, refer to the documentation for the target service, as previously described.
Depending on the service you use, you can assign:
-
folder roles from Orchestrator.
- project roles from:
- Document Understanding
- IXP
- Test Manager
- Task Mining
For more information, refer to the table in Assigning and managing service-level roles.
