User Security Roles

In Power Platform, security roles manage user access to data, apps, and resources within an environment. Each role specifies the permissions and access levels a user has, ensuring they can only interact with authorized information and tools.

Security roles determine how users can view or modify different types of records. You can create new roles, edit existing ones, or change which roles are assigned to users to control access as needed.

Users can be assigned multiple security roles, and their permissions are cumulative. This means a user receives all privileges granted by each of their assigned roles.

To assign security roles to a user, you need to have the appropriate privileges (minimum privileges are Read and Assign on the Security Role table). To prevent elevation of security role privileges, the person who is assigning the security role can't assign someone else to a security role that has more privileges than the assigner. By default, the System Administrator security role has all the required privileges to assign security roles to any user, including assigning the System Administrator security role.
