Access Roles

An access role is a set of one or more access policies that can be assigned to one or more users, or one or more access keys. Access roles can be managed via https://app.bird.com/settings/security/access-roles

When creating access policies you should give access only to the resources you need to access via the API.

Understanding role policies

When creating a role you can add one or more access policies to provide (or deny) access a role access to certain API endpoints. As well as attaching custom policies that you have created, MessageBird has provided a number of managed policies to carry out common actions.

Field Name	Description	Values
Type	Select from either custom or managed policies	Organization Managed
Policy	Select the policy	Any Organization or Managed policy that has been created
