System Roles and Permissions

The following table lists the roles and associated permissions used to manage Code Insight at the system level. The initial Code Insight System Administrator (and any subsequent System Administrators) manages user accounts and assigns system-level roles to any of these users as needed. For more information, see “Managing Users” in the “Configuring Code Insight” chapter in the Code Insight Installation and Configuration Guide.

One user can be assigned to multiple system roles.
