Modeled after the role-based access control (RBAC) mechanism, role-based security (RBS) is Secret Server's method of regulating permission to system access. Each user and group must be assigned to a role. Secret Server ships with three roles: Administrator, User, and Read-Only User. Each role contains various permissions to match the job function of the user. With RBS, strict granular access to Secret Server is ensured. A list of role permissions and their descriptions can be found in the Secret Server Role Permissions List.
You can assign multiple permissions to a role. For example, you could assign Administer Users, Edit Secret, Own Secret, and View Active Directory permissions to a role. That role can then be assigned to a user or group.
The Unlimited Administrator permission allows the user to have unlimited administrator rights when Unlimited Administrator is enabled in the configuration. By default, it is disabled.
