Managing access and roles

Overview

Roles are a collection of permissions and represent a more granular layer for managing user access, following the broader option of maintaining access through groups. You can add roles to groups (so that all member accounts inherit them) or to individual accounts.

There are two types of roles, depending on their permissions:

  • project-level roles: control the permissions that accounts have on specific projects; they're available in Task Mining by default and you cannot change them, nor can you add new ones;
  • service-level roles: control the access rights and actions that accounts can perform in each UiPath® service you own; they're managed from within each service and can include default roles that you cannot change, as well as custom roles that you create and manage in the service.

Roles in projects

In a project, the following Roles can be set for users or groups:
