Roles and permissions


BMC Helix Intelligent Automation leverages BMC Helix Portal to provide single sign-on authentication for users.

By default, Automation Engineer and Automation Developer roles are available for BMC Helix Intelligent Automation. As an administrator, you can create and edit users, user groups, and roles in BMC Helix Portal. You can assign any of the roles or permissions to users, however, you cannot create new permissions.
