Assigning roles to people in an enterprise

Govern what people can do in your enterprise by assigning roles to users and teams.

Enterprise owners can assign custom and predefined enterprise roles to users and teams. Some roles can be assigned to enterprise teams, whereas other roles are only available for individual users. Find the section below for the role you want to assign.

For more information about using roles effectively, see Identifying the roles required by your enterprise.

Assigning app managers, security managers, and custom roles

Nota:

These roles are in public preview and subject to change.

These roles can be assigned to existing users and teams in your enterprise settings, including cuentas de usuario administradas.

Before you assign a role, you may need to create a team. Teams are the best way to manage role assignments at scale. The enterprise security manager role can only be assigned to a team, not to individual users. See Creación de equipos empresariales.

Assigning enterprise owners, billing managers, and guest collaborators

These predefined roles are chosen when you invite a user to your enterprise or provision a cuenta de usuario administrada from your identity provider (IdP).

These roles cannot currently be assigned to enterprise teams, but they can be changed for existing users.

Assigning these roles to new users

Assigning these roles to existing administrators

You can change an administrator's role or convert them to a regular member once they have joined your enterprise.

  • If you use Enterprise Managed Users, you must do this from your IdP via the SCIM roles attribute.
  • If you use an enterprise with personal accounts, you can change the role on your enterprise's "Administrators" page, using the menu next to the user's name. See Visualizar a las personas en tu empresa.

Assigning roles in an organization

Enterprise owners cannot assign organization-level roles from the enterprise settings. An organization administrator must do this. See Uso de los roles de la organización.
