Services Hub roles and permissions

Overview

This guide explains the interrelation between Users, Roles, and Permissions in the Services Hub. It also outlines the available permissions within the platform.

  • Services Hub Global Administrator: A customer role with administrative capabilities and feature-level access at the customer level.
