Manage member roles

View and manage roles of members to ensure proper access and restrictions

Browserstack uses role-based access control that determine what access and privileges does a user have on BrowserStack.

Types of Roles

A member can have two category of roles: IAM role and Product role. Each of them come with their own set of permissions and previleges.

IAM roles: These roles govern administrative access of a user. It dictates what identity and access management privileges a user has within their Organization account on BrowserStack.
Product roles: BrowserStack offers multiple products. Product roles are product-specific roles that provide a user with granular access in a given BrowserStack product.

Note:

Currently, product roles are applicable only for products App Percy, Percy, Test Management and Test Observability products. Learn more about Product roles.

IAM roles define the administrative level permissions any member has e.g. managing users and their access on BrowserStack.

IAMRoles

Details about the IAM roles and permissions are outlined below:
