Predefined User Roles Overview

date_range 05-Mar-25

Juniper Apstra Cloud Services provides four predefined administrator roles and three predefined limited roles to manage access privileges of users, based on the tasks they need to perform.

A superuser creates an organization, adds users to predefined roles depending on the requirements of the organization. For example, an organization with a large number of networking devices would require multiple users performing different roles to efficiently manage the organization, whereas, in a small organization, a single user can perform the tasks to be carried out by users with all the roles. Different types of users in an organization, such as a network architect, network planner, NOC engineer, and field technician, all derive their access privileges from the predefined roles assigned to them.

The roles are:

Administrator Roles

  • Super User

  • Network Admin

  • Observer
