Getting Started with the Illumio Console

User Roles and Scopes

Illumio Console implements role-based access control (RBAC): it defines user roles and grants access based on those roles.

Available user roles in the unified Illumio Console:

  • Owner

  • Admin

  • Viewer

  • Policy Object Provisioner

  • Policy Manager

  • Limited Policy Manager

  • Policy Provisioner

  • Policy Viewer

  • Workload Manager

  • Auditor

  • Incident Responder

  • Label Manager

  • Onboarding Admin

Note

Legacy user roles—where access and permissions were separated between Servers, Endpoints, and Cloud—have been consolidated into unified user roles. The mapping from legacy roles to unified roles:

Scoped roles allow users to perform operations within a defined scope. You can add users (local and external) and groups to all roles.
