About the creator role
The creator role defines the resource role that will be assigned to a user when they create a resource of that type.
By default, creators are assigned the Admin role for the resource they've created. The built-in Admin roles give users all permissions to the resource they've created.
To reduce the set of permissions granted to resource creators, change the creator role for the resource type. For example, I may want to assign the Developer role to application creators so that users cannot share access to applications they create or make them public.
Changing the creator role
To update the creator role for a resource type:
- Click your avatar in the upper-left corner of the home page and click Organization Settings
- Click Roles & Permissions
- Click on the Settings tab
- Select the creator role dropdown for the desired resource type and choose the role you want assigned when a user creates a resource
Changing the creator role only affects newly created resources. Users who have created resources prior to the change will still have the built-in Admin role to that resource.
