Adding member roles

Overview

This topic explains how to add built-in and custom roles to members in LaunchDarkly.

Give members custom roles

To add a built-in or custom role to a member:

1. Click the gear icon in the left sidenav to view Organization settings.
2. Click Members.
3. Find the account member you wish to give a custom role.
4. Click that account member's name. The member's Permissions tab opens.
5. Click Edit member roles. A dialog appears.

6. Choose a built-in role, or choose Custom. A menu containing your organization's custom roles appears.
7. Choose all the custom roles you wish to give the member.
8. Click Save roles. You are returned to the permissions page.

The account member's access is defined by the assigned roles. If you assign multiple custom roles and the custom roles have conflicting permissions levels, the more permissive level of access is applied. For example, if a member has one custom role that allows access to a resource, and another custom role that restricts access to a resource, the member is allowed access.

You can also assign custom roles through your IdP with SSO or SCIM. For an in-depth guide on how to use custom roles with IdPs, read Creating custom roles.
