Access control for user accounts

Last updated on April 23, 2024

Introduction​

AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS) uses roles, which enable you to manage user permissions and define which users can access the Admin Portal. A role is an association between a list of permissions and a list of users. As permissions cannot be directly defined on a user account, roles provide the mechanism for assigning permissions to a user.

Default roles​

AGS includes several default roles that already have permissions and are ready to use. Each role contains its own permissions:
