User roles

User roles help you manage access permissions for both regular and service users.

Each user role includes a functional group of access permissions needed for an overall workflow or job responsibility in DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager. Rather than assign access permissions individually, you assign a user role that includes all the access permissions the user needs.

DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager provides predefined user roles for common work responsibilities, or you can define your own custom user roles.

Predefined user roles

By default, Account Manager provides the below predefined user roles that you can assign to your regular and service users who need access to DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager.

Available user roles depend on whether the user is set up to access a specific account only (account scope) or all accounts (system scope).
