Permissions
In Rocket.Chat, permissions define which actions and operations users can perform within your workspace. Configuring these permissions properly is essential to maintaining the security and integrity of your Rocket.Chat instance.
In the API reference, relevant permissions are listed in the endpoint descriptions. For example, the create-user permission is required to create a new user through the API.
To learn more about available permissions and how to assign them, see the Permissions user guide.
Roles
Roles are collections of permissions assigned to individual users or groups. A role determines which actions users can perform in your workspace.
Refer to the Roles user guide to learn more about creating and managing roles in Rocket.Chat.
The roles and permissions reference documentation provides detailed instructions for managing them through the Rocket.Chat API.
Note that
POSTrequests for roles and permissions cannot be tested using our sandbox environment.
