Intro

You can access content and perform actions in Domo, depending on the access rights of your security role. For information about features for controlling access, see Controlling Access in Domo.

The various default security roles in Domo include "Admin," "Privileged," "Editor," "Participant," and "Social." Each security role has a set of associated access rights. Note that these are the default security roles available in Domo. (They are also known as "Domo roles.") You can also create custom security roles in Admin Settings > Roles. This is discussed in detail in Managing Roles. This topic lists the default roles and the privileges available for each one.

If you have an "Admin" security role or a customized role with the "Manage all roles" privilege, you can manage access rights and security roles of other users in Domo. For information about assigning security roles, see Assigning a Security Role to a User.

Note: If a user's access level is changed, they may not be able to see certain assets anymore, depending on their ownership of those assets. For example, if a Privileged user who owns a page or card is reassigned to the level of Participant user, he or she will still have access to that card or page. If on the other hand a card or page was merely shared with that user, he/she would no longer have access. It will essentially disappear from their view.
