Overview: Roles & Permissions

Understand the difference between users and admins in Konsole.

Written by Jacob

Overview

In Konsole, roles control who can see verification data and who can change workspace-level settings. Konsole has two user roles:

  • Users - run verifications and review results.

  • Admins - manage workspace access and settings

Good role management ensures you have the right people able to manage account access & settings. This helps you: protect account data, maintain strong governance and avoid operational blockers

Best practice

  • Keep at least two admins per workspace - ensure access requests and security changes don’t get stuck.

  • Assign clear ownership for admin actions - for example, who approves access requests and who owns security settings

  • Use least-privilege access: only grant admin rights to people who actively manage users or settings.

  • Review admin access periodically - avoid orphaned workspaces or unnecessary elevated access.
