You can manage roles and policies if you have the System Admin role. Please contact your system administrator to request access.
Roles
There are two types of roles: Managed roles and Custom roles.
Managed roles
Please note: The System admin is not able to modify managed roles, these roles are managed by Bluestone, and all users should be assigned to at least one managed role.
Available Managed roles are:
SYSTEM ADMIN
This role allows working with overall PIM platform management, including access management and setup of a PPE dashboard configuration.
PLUGIN ADMIN
The role allows working with all available features in plugins assigned to the organisation.
PIM ADMIN
This role allows working with PIM definitions (attributes, catalog, categories, and relations), labels, tasks, and notifications.
PIM WRITE
This role allows working with product details (attribute values, catalog, categories, assets, relations, labels), tasks, and notifications.
PIM READ
This role allows reading product details (attributes, catalog, categories, assets, relations, and labels).
PIM PERSONALIZED
This role allows working with a PPE dashboard that customized access to products, assets, attributes, views, and dashboards and access to export products.

Tip! An example of a managed role is when assigning PIM READ role to the user. A user with this role can only read product details. The user will not be able to update the product details.
Custom roles
Custom roles can be created by System Admin and adjusted to specific user requirements.
