CARTO User Manual

Managing user roles

From the Users section, you can view the list of users who have access to your organization. You can access the quick actions menu to manage users role by clicking the three point icon in the right hand corner. There are four options available: Make Admin, Make Editor, Make Viewer and Delete.

In the following example, the initial role is Viewer and therefore the options are limited to Admin and Editor:

Making Admin

If you click the Make Admin quick action, you are providing Admin role to that user. Admins can do everything an editor can do, plus they can access the Organization Settings. This allows them to invite other users, modify their roles or check organization quotas.

Making Editor

If you click the Make Editor quick action, you are providing Editor role to that user. Editors can create connections, applications and maps, as well as edit them.

Making Viewer

If you click the Make Viewer quick action, you are providing Viewer role to that user. Viewers can only see maps and applications previously shared with them.

If you choose the rol Viewer role, a dialog will appear allowing you to confirm that you want to assign the selected email account as viewer role. Click Yes, assign viewer role to confirm the changes or click Cancel if you don’t want the changes to be applied.

Deleting User

If you click the Delete user quick action, a dialog will appear allowing you to confirm that you want to delete the user. Click the Yes, delete button to confirm the changes or click Cancel if you don’t want the changes to be applied.
