User access

What are user roles? 

In Vault Synapse, user roles define the responsibilities, permissions, and access rights granted to a user. Roles determine what information a user can view, modify, or share within the system. Each role typically corresponds to a business function or a group of related functions performed by one or more users. 

Users are assigned to predefined system roles, each of which comes with a built-in set of privileges. This ensures consistency and security across the platform, while also aligning access rights with organizational requirements. To view the roles assigned to a user, go to the Users module, select a user, and open the User Access tab. The system will display a list of roles associated with the account along with their expiration dates, if applicable. 

How to grant user access 

To grant access, open the Users module and select the user you want to update. In the navigation header, click on the User Access tab and then select + Grant Access. A modal window will appear where you can choose the company and assign one or more roles from the dropdown lists. Once the correct roles have been selected, click Grant Access to apply the changes. 

How to revoke user access 

To revoke access, go to the Users module and select the user in question. From the navigation header, open the User Access tab. You can then select the roles you want to revoke by checking the boxes next to them. If you want to revoke all roles, use the checkbox at the top of the list next to Role. When you are ready, click Revoke Selected Role(s). A warning message will appear to confirm the action—click OK to finalize the removal of access.
