Application roles are assigned to a user to provide access to specific role-based functions within DevOps Intelligence application using Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) for enabling the right level of access as needed. For steps on how to assign roles to users, refer to Users and roles.

To support individuals operating in the functions described in the previous section, DevOps Intelligence has five defined roles that provide specified privileges for assigned users, enabling access to functional elements of the service and authorization to perform necessary functions to operate in that role. The following table describes these roles and the granted privileges for each.
