Determine user roles

Default roles

A key consideration when setting up Snyk is determining which default user roles align with your needs.

The user roles in Snyk use a fixed set of permissions that cannot be changed.

The following are the default roles:

• Org Admin: Typically assigned to team leads. Users with this role can add/delete Projects, override Snyk checks, and provision users. It is common to assign this to team leads, admins, and security team users.

• Org Collaborator: This is the default role in Snyk used for developers. This role is ideal for small teams or for a very developer-first organizational approach.

If you need more granularity in roles/permissions, consider upgrading to Snyk Enterprise Plan to access Custom Roles and SSO functionality.
