Authentication, access, and user management

Authentication, access, and user management are part of the Harness Platform. Permissions granted to users and user groups depends on their associations with resources and resource groups, which are controlled at the account and project level in Harness. For more information about authentication, access, and user management, go to the following:

User roles

Harness SEI has three built-in user roles:

  • SEI Admin
  • SEI Collection Admin
  • SEI Viewer

These roles replace the user roles that existed in Propelo (Admin, Org Manager/Admin, Auditor, Limited User, Restricted User, Assigned Issue User, and Public Dashboard User). In the Harness Platform, use Harness RBAC for access control. For example, you can add user groups or add user roles according to your custom access needs.
