On this page, we will walk you through system roles and the permissions related to each role. System admin and admin roles are available for Anlytic Enterprise clients. At the system level, there are three roles:
  1. System Admin
  2. Admin
  3. User
Your system role determines whether you can manage the platform. If your system role is User, your workspace role determines what you can do within each workspace.

System role permissions

The following table shows the tasks available to each system role. Admin and System Admin can create, update and delete other accounts with the same or a lower system role. You can assign roles up to your own system role. Editing your own profile does not allow you to promote your own system role. You can reset MFA for another user with the same or a lower system role. You cannot reset your own MFA through this administration action. MFA, support and monitoring must be available in your environment. System support management controls require System Admin in the interface; the backend support routes accept both Admin and System Admin.

How system and workspace roles work together

  • Admin and System Admin have administrative access across workspaces. A lower workspace or team role does not reduce that access.
  • User does not grant editing or administration by itself. Your workspace role and access to the relevant team determine those permissions.
  • Being an Admin in one workspace does not make you a system Admin or give you access to administration for other workspaces.
The tasks available to you also depend on your plan, enabled features and workspace settings. To make an existing system catalog available in a workspace, see Assign a system catalog to a workspace.
