| Dev PortalRoles and permissions
Roles in your organization are divided into two levels: organization-level roles and application-level roles. This page describes all the roles, and what each role can do.
Organization-level roles
- Organization Admin: Sets up your organization's Polaris account and manages users and groups within it. Each organization has at least one Organization Admin.
- Organization Application Manager: Has full access to all applications within the organization.
Note: You can assign organization-level roles to users or groups. Most users don't have organization-level permissions, but receive application-level permissions from an Application Admin. No Global Role refers to users who don't have organization-level permissions.
Application-level roles
- Application Admin: The owner of one or more applications.
- Contributor: A user with access to an application who can create and manage projects, run test, and triage issues.
- Member: A user with access to an application who can do everything a contributor can do, except create, update, or delete projects.
- Observer: A user with access to an application who can view projects, test results, and issues, but cannot run tests or triage issues.
Note: Organization Administrators can create custom application-level roles on the Roles tab (). For more information, see Manage permissions with custom roles.
After you add a user or group to an application, you can set the user or group's application-level role. For more information, see Add users and groups to an application.
