Default user roles and permissions

BMC Helix Continuous Optimization uses the default user roles in BMC Helix Portal to manage access to various functionality.

Each role has default permissions that are assigned to it. You cannot edit the default user roles. You can create custom roles and assign permissions. For details, see Roles and permissions.

All permissions in BMC Helix Continuous Optimization are part of the capacity_optimization application. The objects to which you want to provide permissions are grouped as Resources. The following table lists the default user roles and permissions in BMC Helix Continuous Optimization. For details about the permissions in a resource group, see Permissions available for a resource.
