Administrators assign roles to users based on assignments and responsibilities. Set these roles in the application or map them from your identity provider if you have SSO integration enabled. If you start with a completely new Domino installation, the first user to log in is assigned the SysAdmin and Practitioner roles.
The available roles are:
-
SysAdmin - Administers instance with full administrative access.
-
ProjectManager - Manages organizations and project tags.
-
SupportStaff - Manages compute-related functionality.
-
Practitioner - Uses compute and file storage.
-
ReadOnlySupportStaff - View compute-related configuration.
-
Librarian - Manages project library.
-
Lite User - A user with no role. See Lite User.
By default, all new users are assigned the Practitioner role. You can change this with central configuration options.
When multiple roles are assigned to a user, permissions are additive. To grant users roles, you must be a SysAdmin.
-
In the Admin application, click Users.
-
Search for the username to grant permissions.
-
Click Edit and select the roles.
-
Click Save.

| You cannot delete organizations after you create them. |
When Project Managers are members of organizations, their role grants them owner-level access to all projects that are owned by other members of the organizations. This allows the Project Manager to see these projects and their assets in the Projects Portfolio and Assets Portfolio.
The Project Manager might also have the ability to add users to these organizations, thereby gaining contributor access to those users' projects. For this reason, the Project Manager must be treated as a highly privileged role, similar to System Administrator.
A user with no roles is called a Lite User or, in some contexts, a Results Consumer. They have restricted feature access and may have a different licensing status.
Lite Users have permission to do the following:
-
View the project list.
-
View files in a project.
-
View Workspace history.
-
View Job history.
-
Be added as collaborators of model APIs.
-
View Apps.
-
View and run Launchers (if permitted in project settings).
-
List and view Environments.
-
View experiments.
The Data Analyst role is for users who have some technical background and coding experience in Python and R, but who do not need access to all the MLOps features of Domino. For more information, see Data Analyst role.
