Role-based access control

Role-based access control (RBAC) lets you restrict access to specific functionality based on a user's role. In HCP Waypoint, RBAC allows platform engineers to manage templates and add-ons, and allows developers to use them to create applications and install add-ons.

Permission mappings

HCP Waypoint maps permissions to the admin, contributor, and viewer HCP roles.

Based on the permission associated with each role, we recommend you assign platform engineers the admin role and application developers the contributor role.

For a detailed list of permissions granted to each role, refer to HCP Waypoint permissions.
