Custom Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Custom Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

πŸ” Custom Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Rootly is already the most secure and enterprise-ready incident management platform on the market by a margin.

Today, we are taking that further by introducing role-based access control (RBAC) to our customers.

Why? Not all incident data or access is as simple as having Admin and User.

For example, create a Security role only for your InfoSec team or an Observer role for read-only access to give customer support.

  • Unlimited custom role creation with CRUD definitions
  • Granular permissions (e.g. configurations, incident data, Workflows, integrations, etc.)
  • Easily assign existing and new members new roles
  • Limit access to both Slack app (e.g. /incident new) and Web UI
  • Control who can access Private incidents (e.g. data breach)
  • Out of the box popular roles pre-defined and ready to use
