With Twilio's role-based access control (RBAC) platform, you can grant access to Twilio resources in a granular way and prevent access to other resources. Twilio RBAC lets you adopt the security principle of "least privilege access" for users in your Twilio accounts.
Here are the key features of the Access Control product:
- Control access to Twilio resources with built-in roles that range in scope from your whole organization down to viewing only a specific product for a specific subaccount.
- Manage role assignments across multiple accounts and subaccounts in one place using the self-serve RBAC management interface in Twilio Admin.
- Log in to Twilio Console and navigate to Settings > Organization settings > Users.
The User management page lists all the users in your organization and their role assignments. You can search by user's name, email, SID, role name or scope name. Scope specifies the boundary within which a role assignment will apply. It can be a managed account, subaccount, or even your organization. - To view a user's role assignment details, click the user's name, then click the Role Assignments tab.
- All the user's role assignments, grouped by scope name, will be listed as separate rows. Resource-based role assignments are at the organization scope level but will be listed as separate rows.
When you assign roles to a user, you start by selecting the scope: organization, account, or subaccount. Then you can assign one or more roles to the user for the specified scope. Depending on the scope, you can select from General or Built-in roles. Learn more about role types.
Users can have multiple roles in multiple scopes. You can assign up to 25 built-in roles per user across all scopes.
- Log in to Twilio Console and navigate to Settings > Organization settings > Users.
