User Roles

Introduction

User roles are the foundation of access control and responsibility delegation in Joget DX. They define what a user can see, do, and manage within the platform, whether it's designing apps, configuring system settings, or simply using the applications built by others. Joget’s role-based access model empowers organizations to maintain governance, enforce security, and streamline collaboration across departments and teams.
From developers to administrators and end-users, each role is purposefully designed to limit or grant privileges based on real-world responsibilities, aligning closely with the principle of least privilege. Understanding these roles is key to effectively managing users and workflows within your Joget environment.

How to assign roles

In Joget DX, only the Admin can assign user roles. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Log in as admin, and click Users on the Administrator Bar.
   
2. Under Setup Users, select a user from the list.
3. Click Edit User. For the Role(s) property, select a role from the dropdown. The following are the options:

• • Admin
  • App Creator
  • System Manager
  • User

5. Click Save.

Available roles
