Note

  • Permissions cannot be directly assigned to team members. You need to create a role with a certain set of permissions, and then assign this role to a team member.
  • If you do not see some of the listed permissions, it means you do not use the associated Sumsub products or solutions. Contact our sales team or reach out to your account manager to obtain a new product.

Manage roles

You can manage roles in any of the following ways:

  • Edit roles. Lets you edit an existing role in case you want to change certain parameters. For example, you may want to change permissions that you have assigned previously or change the name of the role, and so on.
  • Remove roles. Lets you permanently remove the role in case you no longer need it. Mind that you cannot remove the role if at least one team member is currently logged in under this role.
