Overview​

The Roles feature in the Webberstop Cloud Portal provides powerful tools for customizing access control within your organization. You can create and manage roles to assign precise permissions based on team responsibilities, helping ensure that each user has the appropriate level of access to perform their tasks—no more, no less.

By tailoring roles to your organization’s structure, you gain enhanced security, flexibility, and operational efficiency.

Viewing and Managing Existing Roles​

To view or edit existing roles:

  1. Log in to the Webberstop Cloud Portal.

  2. Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner of the screen.

  3. From the dropdown, select Roles.

  4. You’ll be directed to the Roles Management page, where all current roles are listed.

  5. To edit a role, click the pencil icon ✏️ in the top-right corner of the role card.

⚠️ The Owner role is a system role and cannot be modified.

Creating a New Role​

To define a new custom role:

  1. Click your profile picture in the top-right corner.

  2. Select Roles from the dropdown menu.

  3. On the Roles page, click the ➕ plus icon in the top-right corner.

  4. In the role creation form, provide the following:

    • Name: Enter a unique name for the new role.
    • Description: Optionally describe the role’s purpose.
    • Permissions: Select the specific features or modules this role should have access to. Permissions are grouped based on platform features (e.g., Instances, Storage, Networking, Billing).

  5. When ready, click Create Role to save it.

Your new role will be available immediately and can be assigned to any user within the portal.

Best Practice

Use custom roles to align access with job functions—such as Developer, Billing Admin, Support Technician—to ensure least-privilege access across your teams.
