Requestly enhances collaboration and security by allowing project admins to assign specific roles to users. This role-based access control (RBAC) ensures that only authorized members can access sensitive configurations, such as API keys and authentication tokens, and helps prevent unauthorised modifications. In this doc, you’ll learn how Requestly’s RBAC works, the specific roles available, the permissions associated with each role, and how to change user roles within your project

​
How RBAC Works in Requestly

Requestly uses role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure that every team member only gets access to what they need. It has three roles, Admin, User, and Viewer, each with permissions that protect sensitive data like API keys and tokens and reduce mistakes or unauthorised changes, making teamwork smoother and more efficient.

​
User Roles and Their Permissions

Each project has three roles, each with distinct permissions:

​
Admin

  • Full control over project settings, member management, and permissions.
  • Can create, edit, delete, and execute API requests, collections, and environments.

​
User

  • Can create, edit, delete, and execute API requests, collections, and environments.
  • Cannot manage team settings, members, or project-wide configurations.

​
Viewer

Viewers cannot edit API requests, but they can execute them.
  • Read-only access.
  • Can view and execute API requests, collections, and environments but cannot make any changes or access sensitive project settings.
