Select Roles from the left-hand menu.

You will see a list of preset roles as well as custom roles created by your team.
Select Create new role.

Choose permissions for the role.

Delete a custom role

Note

You can't delete custom roles that have been assigned to users.

To delete a custom role:

Select the checkbox next to the role of interest on the Roles page.
Select Delete.

You'll be asked to confirm the deletion before the role is removed.

Default role

A default role is the role a new user on your team is auto-provisioned, until a role is explicitly set by an admin. Both pre-built and custom roles can be designated as the default role.

A default role is automatically assigned (auto-provisioned) to new users on your team until an admin explicitly sets a different role. It can be either a pre-built or a custom role.

Caution

If auto provisioning is enabled, any user with an email address from your organization's domain can sign up without being invited.

To set a role as the default role:

Locate the role of interest on the Roles page.
Select the role name to open its configuration page.
Select MAKE DEFAULT in the upper-right corner of the page.

Role ID

To find the role ID in the DoiT console:

Select the gear icon () from the top navigation bar, and then select Users and access.
Go to the Roles subsection and select the desired role.
Select the Copy Role ID button in the upper-right corner of the role details screen to copy the Role ID to your system clipboard.
