Control Tower permissions

Any user with a global role that has the Product Rights > Control Tower global permission can access the Control Tower product pages. Certain tasks, however, require specific permissions.

Allows users full access to the Control Tower product pages.

By default, only the Sysadmin global role has this global permission. There is no out-of-the-box Control Tower-related global role. We recommend that you do one of the following:

  • Give this global permission to an existing global role.
  • Create a new global role and give it this global permission.

For guidance on how to do this, go to Set up Control Tower.
