Roles & Permissions

Roles are uses to limit user access in different parts of your system, giving you peace of mind that things are only available to the ones that should have access. Our roles are incredibly fine-grained in that we allow you to toggle each and every action within the system on or off.

Cue Manager comes with 4 different roles by default:

  1. Administrator
  2. User
  3. Guest
  4. API



Adding Roles #

You can add as many custom roles as you want. Simply navigate to Setup > Roles & Permissions and click the New button in the upper right corner.


Role Types #

There are 3 different role types that are applied to different user types:

  1. User roles are applied to system users
  2. Guest roles are applied to guests you invite into your system
  3. API roles are applied to API keys you create
