Roles are bundles of abilities. A group is given a role on an asset which gives the users in the group certain abilities. We provide some default roles, but platform Admins can create their own customized roles in the Settings page. That means you can cherry-pick the abilities you want to give to your roles. We provide three default roles: Manager, Editor and Viewer. Managers are easy - they have all the abilities. Editors can generally do everything except deleting and moving assets as well as managing permissions on Folders. Viewers are quite limited - they can only view assets. Note that viewers also have the ability to Read tables whereby they can load data from the assets (sources and models) that they have Read access to. You can compare them below.
