How to manage your team’s permissions

This article describes the process of setting different permission levels for member accounts in Lifecycle Manager.

What permissions do my team members need?

In Lifecycle Manager, specific functions can be made available depending on each team member's role. To align their responsibilities, they must have access to the right Lifecycle Manager features. You can accomplish this by assigning one or more of the following permissions.

For example, the member responsible for adding/updating integrations will not be able to add any of Lifecycle Manager's supported integrations if they don’t have the Manage sync settings permission.

All Lifecycle Manager members have basic permissions enabled by default. Basic permissions cannot be disabled.
