Access management
Snowray provides different types of roles that define which user is allowed to see a specific resource or to perform certain actions.
Roles are tied to resources, meaning that users can have different types of permissions to different resources. For example, a user might be able to maintain a resource but has only read access to others.
Resources only appear for users who are granted Read access to them.
A more detailed description of user role permissions can be found below.

When having multiple roles through Organization or Bundle access, the role with the higher accessibility feature will always be the one taken into consideration when trying to access a resource.
Maintainers can share resources, edit user roles, and revoke access to resources after visiting the Sharing tab of the selected resource. More can be found on these topics under the following pages:
