Manage permissions for a role
Permissions is the area of Experience Cloud where administrators can define user roles and access policies to manage access permissions for features and objects within a product application.
Through Permissions, you can create and manage roles, as well as assign the desired resource permissions for these roles. Permissions also allow you to manage the labels, sandboxes, and users associated with a specific role.
Immediately after creating a new role, you are returned to the Roles tab. If you are editing permissions for an existing role, select the role from the Roles tab. Alternatively, use the filter option to filter the results to find a role.
