Manage roles

Important: The v1 version of role management pages is deprecated. The support and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that are offered to marketplaces that currently use v1 will continue to apply until v1 is retired. Support for v1 will end when the product is retired. Retirement is currently scheduled to happen on June 24, 2022. When v1 is decommissioned, it will no longer be available and you'll need to migrate to v2. See Product lifecycle phases for more information about the duration and impacts of each phase. Contact your AppDirect technical representative to have v2 enabled for your marketplace.
