Rôles utilisateur et accès à un compte CertCentral

When adding users to your CertCentral account, you assign a role to each user instead of granting individual permissions. Each user role has specific permissions that define what the individual can access and do within CertCentral.

CertCentral account types and available user roles

You may have two or five user roles to select from in your CertCentral account, depending on what type of account you have. Learn how to identify your CertCentral account.

Subscription and legacy CertCentral accounts

Subscription and legacy CertCentral accounts have two user roles that you can select from when adding users to your account:

  • Administrator: Full administrative access, including access to create users and to manage user access.

  • Finance Manager: Access to manage finances and to place and manage orders.

Enterprise and Partner CertCentral accounts

Depending on your Enterprise or Partner account setup, you may have up to five user roles to select from when adding users to your account:

  • Administrator: Full administrative access, including access to create divisions and users, and to manage user access.

  • Manager: Access to manage finances, create and approve requests, manage orders and domains, and view and edit users.

  • Finance Manager: Access to manage finances and to place and manage orders.

  • Standard User: Access to place and manage orders, with changes approved by a manager or administrator.

  • Limited User: Access to place and manage their own orders, with changes approved by a manager or administrator.

CertCentral divisions: unrestricted or restricted roles

If using division in your Enterprise or Partner CertCentral account, user roles fall into two categories: unrestricted and restricted. Unrestricted roles have permission to access all divisions in your account. Restricted roles have permission to access their assigned division divisions.

For example, you must be an unrestricted administrator to view and update CertCentral account settings. An unrestricted administrator can access the Settings menu options, like Preferences and Notifications, in CertCentral, whereas a restricted administrator never sees Settings.
