Managing MSP roles and permissions

Managed Service Provider (MSP) admin users are assigned roles that reflect their abilities at the channel and descendant workspace levels. Granular permissions are assigned to each role.

Coro has three predefined roles, which can’t be edited or deleted, but can be duplicated:

  • MSP Viewer : Can view content.
  • MSP Administrator : Can view and edit content.
  • MSP Super admin : Can view and edit content. Additionally, MSP super admins can reassign roles to MSP admin users and admin users.
note

You can’t remove the last MSP super admin of a channel.

Permissions are categorized into the following options:

  • No Access : The MSP admin user cannot see or interact with the section.
  • Can View : The MSP admin user can see the section but cannot make changes.
  • Can Edit : The MSP admin user can view and make changes to the section.

The different sections are as follows:
