Environment roles

There are four environment roles:

• Owner
• Runner
• Viewer
• None

You can set one of these roles as the default for an environment. The default role applies to all current and future users who don't have a specific role assigned.

Users with the Owner role for a project can explicitly assign any of these roles to users within the project, as well as update the default role for an environment. When the default role is modified, all users currently assigned the default role are automatically and immediately updated to the new default role.

Default environment access is defined in two areas:

• When you create an environment.
• When you edit an existing environment.

Read Role permissions for details on what each role can do.

Edit user environment role

Any user with the Owner role for a project can assign a user's environment role. To do this:

1. In your project, click the Environments tab.
2. Click the three dots ... next to the environment you want to set the role on.
3. Click Edit user access.

4. Use the Access drop-down menu to choose the access level for the individual user.

   Note

   To find specific users quickly, search by name or email address.

5. Click Save.

The new access will take effect immediately.
