The different roles and permissions which can be assigned to RBM users
Your organisation may create multiple organisational roles as part of your RBM set up. As part of this process, each role will be assigned to a license type:
- RBM Standard Edition
- For Managers to create, edit, schedule, approve and execute Events and Runbooks
- For Authors to create and edit Events and Runbooks
- Full view of all relevant content for the user including Events, Runbooks, Tasks, Issues and Overviews
- RBM Lite
- For Task Operators: task owners or Teams, required to activate and complete tasks
- Limited view, only related to specific Runbooks, Tasks and Issues assigned to the user or assigned to their team
The permissions each user will have will be defined by the RBM role they have been assigned:

The Task Operator's visibility is reduced to seeing data in the context of tasks or issues relating to them. They will not be able to see additional attributes of a Runbook or Event, such as the overviews, membership, changes, services etc.
They will also have limited access to shipped reports, being presented only with those which will be helpful to them in executing their tasks.
