Custom Roles
Create your own custom role types for greater control of permissions assigned to users at the Workplace and Project level.
Custom roles allow you to create more fine-grained permission assignments than the default Workplace and Project roles supplied by Doppler so you can better apply the principle of least privilege.
When combined with User Groups and SCIM for automated user provisioning, users can be automatically assigned custom roles at the project and workplace level based on group membership.
Requires an upgraded subscription
This feature is standard on our Enterprise plan or can be added on to an existing Team plan. Explore pricing or book a demo for more details.
Prerequisites
- Enterprise subscription with Custom Roles enabled
- Must be a workplace owner
Management
Custom Roles are created and managed by navigating to the Doppler dashboard under Team -> Roles.
Roles can be assigned at the Workplace and Project level:
- Workplace: Each user can be assigned a single Workplace role (groups cannot currently be assigned a Workplace role). These roles include permissions for accessing logs, team management, settings, billing, etc. You can see a full list of permissions below.
- Project: Each user or group can be assigned one Project role per project. If you need different permissions on a per-config basis, you can assign separate permission levels to different groups and assign the users into these various groups. The permissions granted to the user are the highest available from the combination of all roles they have applied to them. These roles include permissions for secrets read/write, project management, project access, config management, etc. You can see a full list of permissions below.
Assignment
Custom roles are assigned in the same way Doppler's pre-defined roles are.
Default
The default workplace role is assigned when a new user joins a workplace if the user's role is undefined (e.g. if user groups are not used)
Workplace Level
Navigate to the dashboard Team page and click on the Users tab to assign a specific role to user:
Project Level
Navigate to Members in the Project sub-menu menu to assign permissions at the Project level.
