User Roles
User roles are pre-defined sets of permissions that you allocate to users, enabling them to only perform specific actions in HotDocs Hub.
For example, you would allocate a template uploader role to users uploading templates to Hub from HotDocs Developer.

Overview
User roles enable you to control what actions an individual user can perform in Hub. For example, whether a user can upload templates or create user groups. You can assign several different types of user role to Hub users:
- Root Administrator
- Tenancy Administrator
- Template Uploader
- Template User
Specific user roles may perform actions that are not available to other roles. For example, Template Users may not upload templates, while Template Uploaders can upload templates. The user roles, and the actions they can perform in Hub, are defined below.
Common Tasks
Workflow
You allocate a user role to a user when creating a new user account. You can also edit an existing user's user role on the user details page.
User Roles
The different user roles in Hub, and the actions users allocated those roles can perform, are described below.
Root Administrator
The root administrator is the initial default administrator user created when you install HotDocs Hub. It is functionally the same as users created with the Tenancy Administrator role. You can also allocate the root administrator role to any new users you create in the Hub.
Tenancy Administrator
A Tenancy Administrator can administer users, users groups, templates and template groups in Hub. They have permission to perform the following actions:
- Configure the HotDocs Hub
- Create new users

- Create new template groups
- Edit template groups
- Assign user permissions to template groups
- Create work items
- Edit all work items
- Relaunch interviews for all work items
- View all work items
- Delete work items created by other users
The Tenancy Administrator also has all the permissions of a Template Uploader and Template User user roles.

A Template Uploader can upload templates from HotDocs Developer to HotDocs Hub. They have permission to perform the following actions:
- Upload templates from HotDocs Developer
