Roles

This article describes the available roles in RedCarbon, their permissions, and how to assign them to users.

Overview

RedCarbon uses a role-based access control (RBAC) system to manage user permissions. Each user is assigned a role that determines what actions they can perform and what data they can access within the platform.

Available Roles

Organization Admin

The Organization Admin role has full administrative access to the organization.

Use case: IT administrators, security team leads, or account owners who need complete control over the organization's RedCarbon instance.

---

Analyst

The Analyst role is designed for security analysts who work on cases and investigations.

Use case: SOC analysts, incident responders, and security team members who handle day-to-day case management and investigation.

---

Viewer

The Viewer role provides read-only access to the platform.

Use case: Stakeholders, managers, or auditors who need visibility into security operations without the ability to make changes.
