Get the right people in the right role

Choose the right people to fill each role within an organization. The org admin manages the organization, the site admin grants administrative tasks on sites, and the user access admin has limited access and manages user and group access to the product they administer. Product admins have access to product-level settings, and their role differs from product to product. User roles differ across Atlassian products and are called user, guest, customer, and stakeholder roles.

After this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Define the org admin role and how to grant and revoke permissions.
  • Define the site admin tasks and how to grant and revoke permissions.
  • Define the user access admin tasks and how to grant and revoke permissions.
  • Define the product admin tasks and how to grant and revoke permissions.
  • Describe the user, guest, customer, and stakeholder roles.
  • Explain how the org admin can enforce security for external users.
