User Level Permissions
User levels are sets of permissions within IdentityNow that administrators can grant to users. Users cannot grant themselves user level permissions – only IdentityNow Admins can grant or remove user levels.
If you grant someone a user level, it will appear in certifications as an entitlement that the reviewer can grant or revoke. For information on how to grant and remove user levels, refer to Setting User Level Permissions.
Users can be granted multiple user levels and will have the combined access of all levels assigned to them.
To view the user levels and associated privileges in a table format, refer to the User Level Access Matrix.
