A role is assigned to a user who has the responsibility to perform specific actions on the assigned resource(s). There are two types of roles in Magic Collaboration Studio: predefined and custom.
- A predefined role is a ready-to-use role that an authorized user can assign to other users. A predefined role is not editable and cannot be deleted.
- A custom role is a role created by an authorized user. An authorized user can also edit a custom role and change its permissions.
Predefined roles
Predefined roles are default roles that come with your Magic Collaboration Studio installation. You can select these ready-to-use roles and assign them to one or more users. Each predefined role comes with its own default permissions, which you can see on the Role detail pane. You cannot delete a predefined role, or change its permissions.
The following table describes all predefined roles in Magic Collaboration Studio:
Role | Description | Scope |

Custom roles
In Magic Collaboration Studio you can create a new role with a desired set of permissions. This type of role is called a custom role. You can delete a custom role or change its permissions. Even though the role name should be unique, it can have the same set of permissions as other roles.
