Managing Role-Based Access Control Create a Custom Role

Last updated: Aug 28, 2025

Create a Custom Role

As an organization administrator, you can create custom roles that have specific permissions.

Before you begin

Before you create a custom role, note the following:

You can’t create a custom role for a product that does not support custom roles.
If you have created custom roles for a product and later the product is deprovisioned, such custom roles are hidden, but not deleted. When the product is activated again, those custom roles are available for assignments.

Procedure

1

In the Security Cloud Control platform menu, choose Platform Services > Platform Management.

2

Choose Access Management > Administrator Access.

3

Click Admin roles.

4

Click +Add custom role.

The +Add custom role button is displayed only if the organization has active products that support the use of custom roles.

5

In the Role details section of the Add custom role page, do the following tasks

Choose a product for the role from the Product drop-down list.

Enter the name of the role in the Role name field.

Ensure that the name of the role is limited to 50 characters. Role names can have alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores. Other characters are not supported.
You can’t have two custom roles with the same name for a given product.

(Optional) Provide a description for the role.
Click Next. This step enables you to specify permissions for the role.

6

In the Permission Details section of the Add Custom Role page, do the following.

Select the permissions from the list of permissions displayed.
Click Next.

7

In the Summary section, review the details of the custom role.

To proceed with adding the custom role, click Create Role.

To change the role details, click Back and make the required edits.

To proceed without adding the custom role, click Cancel.

After the custom role is created, it is added to the list of roles on the Roles page.
