Roles and Permissions Per Application

Last updated: Nov 5th, 2024

Overview

This article explains whether it is possible to assign different roles and permissions to the same user throughout separate applications within the tenant.

Applies To

  • Assigning Roles
  • Permissions
  • Applications

Solution

Roles are global. It is not possible to limit their scope to specific applications.

One solution is to create separate roles for each application and prefix the role name with the application to identify to which application it belongs.

  • For example, if there are two applications, one named “Marketing” and another “Accounting,” the solution for creating an “Admin” role for each would be to create two roles: “Marketing—Admin” and “Accounting—Admin.”
