Assign User Permissions

When you are creating a user, you can choose which accounts, reports, and application functions that they will have access to. The user permissions will only apply to the user you are creating or modifying.

In this topic, we are using an AWS account as an example. To select the user permissions for another cloud provider, click the corresponding tab.

Select the check box next to the user permission that you want the user to have access to. See the table for details.
