Edit a custom role

You can edit or remove a custom role when you want to change or remove permissions for users with that role. Default roles cannot be edited or removed. The only action you can perform on default roles is to add or remove users from a role. Permissions for specific assets, policies, protection plans, or credentials directly from the applicable node in the web UI.

For example:

  • To edit permissions for all VMware assets, go to Workloads > VMwareand then select VMware settings > Manage permissions.

  • To edit permissions for a VM, select a VM and select Manage permissions.

  • To manage policy permissions, go to Protection > Policies. Then at the top right, select Manage permissions.

  • To manage permissions for a specific policy, select a policy and then select Manage permissions.

Note:

When you change permissions for a custom role, the changes affect all users that are assigned to that role.
