Creator Role Administration

Prev Next

To access Creator Role Administration, navigate to Administration > Creator Permissions > Creator Role Administration.

Creator roles are named permission sets that control what Creators can view, create, edit, and delete in the UnqorkAI platform. Creator Role Administration is organized into the following sections: Environment Roles for environment-level resource access, and Workspace Permissions for individual workspace access.

Managing Creator roles requires administrative permissions. Administrators needing access should contact their environment administrator.

Environment Roles

Environment roles are named permission sets assigned to Creator accounts. Each role defines which resource types a Creator can access and what actions they can perform on those resources.

Role List

The Environment Roles tab lists all Creator roles in the environment. Each row shows the role name and description.

Role Capabilities

Each default role grants a different level of access to the UnqorkAI platform and its administrative features.

Administrator: Full access to all resource types across the environment, plus administrative capabilities not available to other roles. Administrators can manage Creator accounts and roles, configure environment settings, access services and certificates, and use the refer string API to generate authentication tokens. Assign this role only to Creators who need to manage the environment, not just build in it.

Contributor: Create, edit, and delete access to resources in the workspaces where they belong. Contributors cannot access administration pages or environment-level configuration. Contributor is the standard role for active Creators building applications.

Viewer: Read-only access to workspace resources. Viewers cannot create, edit, or delete anything. Use this role for Creators who need to review or reference work without making changes.

Environment:BASIC: A restricted role with no resource permissions. Creators with this role can log in to the UnqorkAI platform but cannot view, create, edit, or delete applications, modules, services, styles, or any other resource type. Use this role to give a Creator login access without granting them access to any environment content.

Permission Matrix

Each Creator role defines permissions across a set of resource types. Permissions are granted per action. Selecting a higher-privilege action automatically selects its prerequisites.

Workspace Permissions

Assigning a workspace permission level to a Creator is done in Creator (User) Administration.

Workspace Role
