Roles grant users access to features and functionality in Red Canary. A user can have one or more roles on a subdomain/account.
Assign and remove roles for users
You can assign a role to a user to grant them the abilities of that role.
To assign a role to a user...
- Click your user icon at the top right of your Red Canary, and then click Users & Roles.
- Assign one or more roles to the user by checking the boxes next to each role.
To remove a role from a user...
- Click your user icon at the top right of your Red Canary, and then click Users & Roles.
- Remove a role from the user by unchecking the boxes next to each role.
Why can’t I remove the technical or business contact roles from a user?
Each account must have an assigned technical contact and business contact. To remove those roles from a user, assign those roles to another user and the role will be transferred.
What permissions does each role grant?
All users have the ability to...
- Log in to Red Canary
- Edit their own user profile
- Download sensor installers
- Securely share files with their Red Canary team
