User and group access management

Access management is handled by the Test Manager Administrator that can assign tenant roles to users and groups, as well as create custom project roles, and Project Owners that can assign project roles to users and groups.

In Test Manager, there are two types of roles available:
  • Tenant - these roles are relevant at tenant level.
  • Project - these roles are relevant at project level.

Conditions

Important:

To assign users and groups to projects, first you need to provision the Test Manager service to the tenant where you want to use it. Secondly, you need to allocate licenses for your users.

  • Users that are signed in cannot be removed until they sign out.

Tenant roles

Tenant roles define the actions that a user or group can perform in the target tenant, regardless of the project roles they have assigned. These roles involve the ability of creating projects, creating custom roles, and assigning roles to users or groups.

The table below shows the available tenant roles and their corresponding descriptions.

Tenant roleDescription
Test Manager AdministratorA Test Manager administrator can perform the following actions:
  • Assign tenant roles to users and groups.
  • Unassign tenant roles from users and groups.
  • Create projects.
  • Create custom project roles.
  • Use, create, update or delete prompts from the project's prompt library.
Project CreatorA Project Creator can create testing projects.

If you want non-administrator users to create projects without granting them administrator privileges, you can assign them only the Project Creator tenant role.

Project roles

Project roles define the actions that a user or a group can perform inside a testing project, such as create manual test cases, or execute tests.

The table below shows the available project roles and their permissions.

Enable access management

Note: Required for legacy projects only. New projects have access management enabled by default.

To manage users and groups, you need to enable access management in your Test Manager project. Open Test Manager and navigate to Project Settings > Manage access, open a project, click Enable now, and then confirm your action. Now you can start assigning users and groups to your organization's projects.
