Roles

Roles are used for setting user permissions for Dynamic Content users. We provide a standard set of roles that can be assigned at three levels: organization, hub and repository.

info

Roles are replacing personas for granting Dynamic Content user permissions. If you currently use personas to set permissions, please contact your Customer Success Manager or Amplience Support about migrating to our more flexible role-based permissions.

Using the account management panel, your organization administrator uses roles to set permissions.
