The Three Bears release of MyAccount now delivers deliver Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to all partners and their customers. These new user roles allow MyAccount administrators to assign more granular permissions to users based on their job functions. For example, an accounts payable user can now be limited to only view and pay invoices, but cannot edit virtual machines. In addition to these security features, we have also made improvements to the MyAccount UI and Child Account access for partners.
Role-Based Access Control
The Three Bears release introduces the following roles for MyAccount:
- Standard MyAccount User (Default): The superuser with access to all functions.
- Finance: Able to edit company details and pay invoices, but cannot purchase, configure, or administer subscriptions.
- End-Customer: Intended for partner-operated accounts where the end customer can manage basic subscriptions. The "End-Customer" sees only RRP pricing and not partner pricing, including partner discounts.
- Technical Administrator: Able to order, cancel, resize, and administer subscriptions, but cannot edit account or finance details.
- Technical User: Able to administer subscriptions, but cannot order, resize, or cancel them.
- Read Only: Can only view invoices and partner information.
For a full breakdown, refer to MyAccount User Roles.
