User roles in XTM Cloud

There are predefined and configurable user roles available in XTM Cloud.

Each one of the predefined user roles offers a different level of access to XTM Cloud. Users can have one or more roles in the system.

Note

Some of the roles cannot be combined. For example, if you have assigned a Project Manager role to a user, the same user cannot be a Limited Project Manager (PM - projects & customers, or PM - project creator & viewer).

The conflicting roles will be grayed out on the Roles list in the General info section, during user creation or editing.

Configurable user roles available in XTM Cloud:

  • PM - project creator & viewer.

  • PM - projects & customers.

The Limited Project Manager roles are available by default, but you can customize them. To do so, contact XTM Support:
