Roles and Permissions

In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), roles are similar to job titles that you must create and assign to your users. When you create a new role, you can populate that role with specific permissions. These permissions determine the type of access a user has in AMP.

For example, you can create an Accounting role, and then you can add specific permissions to only give the user access to accounting-related features in AMP, such as the permission to view invoices.

When you create a new user, you must assign that user a role.

There are two ways to assign a user to a role:

Assign a default role with permissions already enabled in AMP.
- To learn more, see Assign a default role.
Create a new role, populate that role with your preferred permissions, and then assign that role to a user.
- To learn more, see Create and assign a new role.

To review Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding roles and permissions in AMP, see Introduction to roles and permissions.

Assign A Default Role

Step 1: Review default roles and corresponding permissions

If your AMP account was created before May 2017, then by default, you will only see the Admin role. This role contains every permission available.

In AMP, you can easily identify a default role by the orange Armor badge that displays next to the role name.

You cannot edit the permissions within the default roles.

Permissions in the default Admin role

The default Admin role contains every permission available.

This role is automatically updated with new permissions after an AMP release.

This role is automatically assigned to a new administrator account.

Permissions in the default Billing role

At a high-level, the default Billing role contains mostly read-only permissions.

This role is not automatically updated with new permissions after an AMP release.

Review the following table to better understand the specific permissions associated with the default Billing role.
