Overview

User Roles feature lets you assign specific roles to users in a workspace and restricts what they can do in the workspace. There are two types of roles available, Workspace Manager and Editor.

Editors have basic privileges to create, run, and edit tests. Workspace Managers have access to all Workspace and Organization settings in addition to what editors can do, including managing users, setting up notifications, and advanced settings for test executions such as basic authentication settings, etc.

There must be a minimum of one Workspace Manager per workspace, but there are no other restrictions on role assignments. Use different assignments for Workspace Managers and Editors depending on the composition of your organization's members.

The operations that can be performed by users in each role are as follows:
