PERMISSIONS  Admin role

A user's role determines what they can access in KaseyaOne and what actions they can perform. User roles enable administrators to quickly assign the right level of access, granting access to the features a user needs while restricting access to other areas.

When adding a new user account, you assign a role to that user. Each user must have exactly one role assigned. KaseyaOne includes a set of predefined system roles, and you can also create customized roles tailored to your organization's needs.

System roles

KaseyaOne includes the following predefined system roles, which you can use to quickly start adding users. System roles cannot be modified or deleted.

Role Description Notes
Admin Full platform access and user management. Users with this role have access to all areas of KaseyaOne, including the Organization Dashboard, Admin Settings, and Kaseya Professional Services pages. They can add and edit all users, assign user roles, create Unified Login integrations, manage billing information, request subscriptions and licenses, view invoice history, and view all company support tickets. They can also navigate to Kaseya Store, Kaseya University, Kaseya Community, and the Kaseya Merch Store from KaseyaOne.  
Billing and Purchasing Financial access, invoices, and store management. Users with this role have access to the Organization Dashboard and Kaseya Professional Services pages. They can edit their own user information, manage billing information, request subscriptions and licenses, view invoice history, and view billing support tickets. They can also navigate to Kaseya Store, Kaseya University, Kaseya Community, and the Kaseya Merch Store from KaseyaOne. Users with this role cannot add or edit other users.
User Support portal access and reporting. Users with this role have access to the Kaseya Professional Services page. They can edit their own user information and view support tickets they submitted or were copied on. They can also navigate to Kaseya University, Kaseya Community, and the Kaseya Merch Store from KaseyaOne. Users with this role cannot add or edit other users or access subscriptions and billing information.
Co-Managed Access to assigned modules only. Users with this role have limited access to KaseyaOne. They do not see My Account Team information and can see only the My Modules section on the home page. They can edit their own user information and navigate to Kaseya University from KaseyaOne. Users with this role cannot view or create support tickets, add or edit other users, or access subscriptions and billing information. On the Support page, they see only the following message: Need help? If you have any issues with using KaseyaOne please contact your administrator.

Customized roles

If you need more granular control over access, you can create customized roles tailored to your organization's needs. Instead of relying only on predefined system roles, you can adjust permissions based on specific responsibilities — for example, separating financial access from administrative capabilities, granting support visibility without full admin control, or limiting administrative scope while keeping elevated permissions for key functions.

To create a customized role, you select a system role as the base. The new role starts with the base role's permissions, and you then restrict access by disabling individual permissions. A customized role can only reduce the access of its base role, it can never grant a permission the base role does not include.

Only the permissions available to the selected base role are shown. At least one qualifying permission must remain enabled. The system prevents saving a customized role that is identical to its base role or that has all permissions disabled. Refer to Add a customized role for detailed steps.

NOTE  A maximum of 50 user roles are supported: the four system roles and up to 46 customized roles.

Role Management page

The Role Management page is where you view and manage roles and permissions for your KaseyaOne users. The page lists all roles available in your organization, including the predefined system roles and any customized roles that have been created.
