User Roles

Serverless360 lets organisations manage their Azure resources, those constitute their Line of Business. As an organisation you can add any number of your employees or extenal consultants as users to your Serverless360 account, to manage the associated resources. Employees using Serverless360 should be provided with exact permission they need. Too many permissions can expose an account to security violations. Insufficient permissions mean that your employees can’t get their work done efficiently. User access policy with custom role capability helps address this problem of offering fine-grained access management for Serverless360.

User Roles

Serverless360 authenticates your organization users using your Azure Active Directory (AD). Users can be managed through the User Management feature under Settings module in Serverless360. New users can be assigned a role to define access control. The following table provides brief descriptions of the built-in roles:

Switch Account Ownership

Current Serverless360 Administrator can transfer the account ownership with one of the Super Users through the following steps:

1. Login to Serverless360 as Administrator
2. In the User Management section under Settings, find the option to Switch Ownership
   
3. Choose from the available Super Users to switch ownership with.
   

Custom Roles

Consider a business scenario, where the requirement is to provide Read-Only permission on a set of composite applications to a specific set of users. In this scenario, you can create a custom role definition along with the predefined roles.

1. Click 'Add Role' in the User Management screen
2. Enter a 'Role Name' and 'Role Description'
3. Select the Composite Applications that should be accessible to this role
4. Define Overall permission, applicable on the selected Composite Applications and its associated entities:
   1. Read Only- can view
   2. Manage - can manage
5. Define permissions on 'Operations'
   1. Retrieve Message - Can view the message list and system properties
   2. Access Message Content - Can access message details like Custom Properties and Message body
   3. Process Message - Can perform message operations like defer, resubmit, repair & resubmit and delete the message
6. Define permissions on 'Monitoring'
   1. 'View Alert History' -Can view the alert histories of the monitors already created
   2. 'Manage' - Can manage monitors

From Serverless360 2.0, a user can view associated entities in a Composite application to which the user is authorized to. Define the manage permission on Technology Stack, explicitly for Service Bus, Logic Apps, and Azure Functions to permit CRUD operations on the associated entities. Choosing,

1. Manage - can perform CRUD operation on the associated entities
2. Select View or Download option on Governance & Audit
