The Orchestrator consists of two types of roles.
Note: Starting from the 5.1.0 release,
Functional Roles are renamed as
Privileges, and
Composite Roles are renamed as
Roles.
The roles are categorized as follows:
- Privileges – Privileges are a set of roles relevant to a functionality. A privilege can be tagged to one or more of the following services: SD-WAN, Cloud Web Security, Secure Access, and Global Settings, Multi Cloud, and App Catalog. Users require privileges to carry out business processes. For example, a Customer support role in SD-WAN is a privilege required by an SD-WAN user to carry out various support activities. Every service defines such privileges based on its supported business functionality.
- Roles – The privileges from various categories can be grouped to form a role. By default, the following roles are available for a Customer:
