Overview: Roles
For Cloud Servers, migrated Cloud Servers, and Dedicated Servers managed in the Cloud Panel
The access permissions in the Cloud Panel are determined by the roles that you assign to the users you create. You can use a role to determine which areas and actions the assigned users are allowed to view or execute in the Cloud Panel. Users can be assigned multiple roles, and each role can be assigned to multiple users. By default, users are assigned the Administrator role. This role has all permissions and cannot be changed.
