Managing User Roles

As an administrator, you can create and configure a new user role in BarTender Cloud and edit or delete an existing role.

  • To open the Roles page, click on the header bar, then in the Administration section of the BarTender Cloud menu, click Security, then Roles.

BarTender Cloud provides default user roles that have pre-assigned permissions. The following default roles are available:

  • Print Operator: Users who have this role can print and reprint documents, manage printers, and view their print history.

  • Content Manager: Users who have this role can print and reprint documents and upload, organize, and manage files and folders.

  • API User: Users who have this role can perform the same tasks as users who have Print Operator and Content Manager roles can (print and reprint documents, manage files and folders, manage printers, and view print history), and they can also use the BarTender Cloud REST API from within your custom application.

    • Access to the BarTender Cloud REST API is included with the Automation subscription plan.

  • Auditor: Users who have this role can manage files and folders and view print history.

Administrators can limit access to printers, files, and folders by granting or denying permissions to specific users and groups for specific items, regardless of user role. For more information, refer to Granting Access Permissions for Printers and Granting Access Permissions for Files and Folders.
