Overview
Every person who accesses nOps has a user account that belongs to an organization. Users are assigned a role that determines what they can see and do inside the platform. Administrators and owners manage the team from Settings > Users.Settings > Users requires admin or owner permissions to open. Members don’t see this page in Settings, but they can still update their own theme and appearance from the account menu — see Profile and preferences below.
User management page
Settings > Users has three sections for admins and owners:My Profile
Your own profile card — from here you can:- Edit Profile — update your first and last name.
- Edit Theme — open the theme settings modal to fine-tune your visual preferences (see Profile and preferences below).
- Change your avatar — click your avatar to switch between your account photo (if you signed in with SSO or an identity provider that has one) and a set of nOps profile characters.

Admins and owners see the organization user list: active members, pending invitations, and each person’s role. From here they can invite users, change roles, and remove members.Organization Roles
Admins and owners see a table of every role in the organization — built-in and custom. They can create new roles, edit custom role permissions, or delete custom roles from this section.Built-in roles
nOps ships with three built-in roles. These cannot be edited or deleted.Custom roles

The permissions available when creating or editing a role come directly from your account’s environment, so the exact list can vary. The permissions nOps ships by default include:Platform permission levels
nOps also uses broader platform-level permissions to gate features. These are assigned to users based on their role and determine access to major areas of the platform:Feature access summary
The table below shows which roles have access to key platform features by default:Creating global templates and presets, and the internal Nexus commitment management tool, are not tied to the Owner role — they require a special designation nOps grants to specific accounts.
