  • Manage custom roles

Manage custom roles

Within Role Management, you can see the permissions for a specific role by hovering over the number in the Permissions column of the table. This will show the permissions granted to the role.

Roles

If the default roles don’t meet your requirements, you can use custom roles that meet your organizational needs.

Create custom role

You can also create custom roles using the DevOps API.

  1. In Astra Portal, select the organization in the left navigation to add a custom role.

  2. Select Settings.

  3. Select Role Management and then Add Custom Role.

  4. Enter the name you want to use for your custom role. This name should help you easily identify when you want to assign this role to users.

  5. Select the Organization, Keyspace, Table, and API permissions you want to assign to your custom role.

    If you want users with this role to be able to see the Astra DB user interface, make sure you select Read User and View DB permissions.

  6. To apply your selected permissions to specific databases or keyspaces, toggle the switch to not apply the permissions to all databases in an organization. Then select the specific databases or keyspaces to which you want to apply the permissions.

  7. Once you have selected your permissions, select Create Role.

To see your custom roles, select Role Management within your Organization. You can now invite users using your new custom role.

Edit user roles

  1. From your Organization page, select Role Management.

  2. Select Edit Role from the overflow menu for the custom role you want to update.

  3. When editing the role, you can edit the name, permissions, database, and keyspace.

  4. Once you have updated your permissions, select Edit Role.

Your updated custom role will show up in Role Management within your Organization.
