Roles

You only have access to the functionality described in this information if you are entitled to use Flexera One SaaS Management and have the System administrator role, or a custom role which has the related permissions included in this default role, assigned to you in Roles in Flexera One SaaS Management Settings.

Roles define what users can do in Flexera One SaaS Management only, not in other Flexera One capabilities. They are used to assign specific permissions or to give access to specific items or functionalities in Flexera One SaaS Management.

Custom roles

There are predefined default roles in Flexera One SaaS Management that you can use as they are. You can also create custom roles to give access to selected functionality in Flexera One SaaS Management only, not in other Flexera One capabilities. You can base custom roles on a default role or another custom role, or create a custom role without using a base role.

Note that, a custom role and its base role are not connected. Neither changes to the base role nor changes to the custom role affect one another.

Example

Role B is based on Role A so that the two roles include the same permissions. Role A is then updated with an additional permission. The additional permission does not automatically appear in Role B.
