Working with Roles

The iTwin Platform enables you to assign different roles depending on the requirements of your team. There are three types of roles available to assign to users within the iTwin Platform, each with varying levels of permissions. These roles are specific to those individuals that are engaged in building your iTwin application.

Note: Assign roles for your application to your end users using the Access Control API. Please see Access Control for more information.

Roles available for use when building applications and managing account information include:

  • Subscription Manager - Manages all things related to the iTwin Platform account. This role has no restrictions.
  • Application Manager - Manages iTwin Platform applications.
  • Developer - a developer of a given application or applications.

Permissions and owners

All permissions are limited to the applications for which you are listed as an owner. This does not necessarily mean that you created the application, only that you have been defined as an owner of the application. Owners are assigned and listed on the App Details page for the registered app. To open the app details, click My Apps under the Profile menu and then click the name of the app in your list. Application Managers and Subscription Managers are not listed application owners on the App Details page as they are owners, by default, of all applications within the organization.

Available roles

Subscription managers

The Subscription Manager role is automatically assigned to anyone identified as an Administrator or Co-Administrator for your organization. The Subscription Manager has complete control of all aspects of the developer portal and is the only role able to assign a user a role.

You must always have at least one user assigned the Subscription Manager role. A Subscription Manager can assign the Subscription Manager role to another user as needed. The iTwin Platform does not allow you to remove your own user account. If you need your account removed, assign the Subscription Manager role to another user, and they can remove your account.

Application managers

The Application Manager role is assigned to users responsible for managing applications created with the iTwin Platform. Users with this role have complete control of all applications belonging to the account.

Developers

The Developer role enables you to create, edit, or delete applications you created or applications for which you have been assigned as an owner. You can also add another user as an owner of any applications you create.

Note: Users that have an account, but do not have an assigned role will only have access to documentation within the developer portal. The table below defines the associated permissions for each role.
