Managing Roles

Roles in Metoro are collections of permissions that define what actions users can perform on different resources. Each role consists of a set of permissions that grant access to specific resource types.

​

Built-in Roles

Metoro provides two built-in roles that cannot be modified:

1. default-metoro-admin

   • Full access to all features and resources
   • Can manage users, roles, and permissions
   • Can configure integrations and settings
   • Can view and manage billing information

2. default-metoro-user

   • Can view all observability data
   • Cannot modify integrations or settings
   • Cannot manage users or roles
   • Cannot access billing information

​

Custom Roles

You can create custom roles to provide more granular access control for your users. When creating a custom role:

1. Navigate to the Roles tab in Settings -> Users -> Roles
2. Click the “Create Role” button
3. Enter a name and description for the role
4. Select the permissions you want to grant for each resource type
5. Click “Create” to save the role

Custom roles can be edited or deleted at any time by users with accessManagement permissions.

​

Role Permissions

Each role contains a set of permissions that determine what actions users with that role can perform. Permissions are grouped by resource type and can include:

• view - Ability to view or read the resource
• create - Ability to create new instances of the resource
• update - Ability to modify existing instances of the resource
• delete - Ability to remove instances of the resource
