Roles and permissions

Roles and permissions control what each member of your organisation can see and do in InfraNest — this article is for anyone who manages a team.

Overview

• InfraNest comes with built-in roles that cover most needs.
• If you need finer control, you can create custom roles with their own permissions.
• Roles are managed from Team, alongside your other member settings.

Understand the built-in roles

InfraNest includes three roles that every organisation shares:

• Owner — full control of the organisation.
• Admin — can manage resources and members.
• Member — has day-to-day access.

These built-in roles can't be deleted, so they'll always be available to assign.

Create a custom role

Custom roles let you fine-tune access using a permission matrix, where you choose read, write, and (where it applies) delete access for each area — including cloud resources, DNS, domains, monitoring and certificates, as well as managing members, billing, and roles.

1. Go to Team and open Roles.
2. Select New to create a role.
3. Tick the permissions it should have.

4. Select Save to store the role.

Once the role is created, you can assign it to any member.

NoteThe full, always-up-to-date list of roles and permissions is available to admins in your settings.

Assign a role to a member

1. Go to Team.
2. Find the member you want to update.
3. Select Edit next to their name.
4. Choose the role to assign — this can be a built-in role or a custom role you've created.
5. Select Save changes.

Tips

TipStart new custom roles with read-only access, then add write or delete permissions only where a member truly needs them. It's easier to grant more access later than to undo mistakes.
