Viewing Roles

The Configure > Administration > User Access > Roles page displays the list of predefined roles that are currently in your systems. For more information about role-based access control, see Managing Role Based Access Control.

A user role defines the set of permissions or responsibilities that the users have the ability to perform. Depending on your subscription and license entitlements, the Infoblox Portal provides the following default user roles that you can quickly apply to their respective user groups when creating access policies.
