Custom Roles & Permissions

Roles-based access control (RBAC) is a standard practice used by various software providers to allow administrators the ability to create, edit, and alter any roles & permissions within the software they use. Sonar is no different.

Custom Roles & Permissions are currently only available for Enterprise partners.

We have a standard set of roles and permissions available to our partners. For more information regarding what is entailed in each RBAC attribute, review our Customer Roles & Permissions terms defined below.
