About Cloud Platform permissions¶

A permission allows a user to perform specific operations in a Cloud Platform organization or application. Permissions are grouped into roles. Roles are then assigned to team members. All the team members who have the same roles have the same permissions.

Acquia defines over 40 separate, grouped permissions, listed in the following Permissions list table. You can also view all the available permissions by opening the Roles page for an organization and viewing a role, as described in Working with roles and permissions.

Many permissions distinguish between production and non-production environments. You can allow team members to only work on non-production environments, or grant access to both production and non-production environments. For example, the Senior developer role includes the permissions to pull and deploy code in production and non-production environments, while the Developer role only grants these permissions for non-production environments.

Permissions in Cloud Platform don’t control actions users take on your Drupal website, such as:

• Creating content

• Enabling and configuring Drupal modules

• Adding or removing Drupal users

Use the Drupal permissions administration to control access to Drupal functions.
