Hub Permissions

A permission is an authorization granted to a user to perform particular operations. Permissions are granted to a user within a role, but not directly.

A role is a set of permissions which defines the level of access for a user to particular functionality and operations.

Permissions in Hub are divided in two categories:

Global permissions are granted at the global scope and do not depend on a specific project. For example, you cannot grant permission to create user accounts in a single project, you can do it only in the system-wide scope. Global permissions are marked with the globe icon () in the list of permissions.
Per-project permissions allow actions related to a specific project. For example, a role with the Read Project Basic permission grants users and groups access to view project properties and content for a specific project. If these users don't have the Read Project Basic permission for other projects in Hub, they don't have access to them.
