Fusion 23.2.0 Manage Help Center

# Roles and permissions: Manage

Fusion includes default roles at the Manage application level and at the individual workspace level. You can edit these default roles to modify permissions or you can create your own roles with the desired permissions. In either case, the access and actions associated with the permissions cannot be changed.

When editing the default roles or creating your own, it is important to understand the permissions and how applying them affects users' capabilities within Manage.

If you have configured custom file protection actions in Fusion, the accompanying custom permissions display beneath the included default permissions. You can add the custom permissions to existing roles, or create new roles under Manage and Workspace Security for the specific use case of the custom action. For more information about custom actions, see "File protection" in the Connect Help Center.

The Manage permissions grant users specific abilities at the application level.

The Workspace Security permissions grant users the ability to perform specific actions on the workspaces to which they are assigned.

In some instances, application level permissions must be combined with individual workspace security permissions.
