Overview
Why does this feature matter?
Account users with roles assigned that correlate to the anticipated scope of the user's account needs is an essential component of account security.
Account users are logins that have access to your Mailgun Control Panel.
Account user roles, or what could also be termed Account User Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) or RBAC Account Users, determine what sort of permissions a given login has within your Mailgun Control Panel.
Feature Availability:
RBAC Account Users is available on the following plans:
• Pay-As-You-Go
• Foundation
• Scale
• Contract
• Enterprise
Understanding account user roles
There are currently five roles available for account users, and every user that logins to your Mailgun Control Panel must have one of these user roles assigned to that user:
- Admin
- Developer
- Support
- Billing
- Analyst
To better understand which user role is best for a given user, the below table details the general permissions available to each role.
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Admin |

Managing user roles
We'll show you how to do this below:
- First, log in to the Mailgun Control Panel (if you have not already done so).
- Then, at the top-right corner of the page, click the Profile drop-down menu to expand its list of options.
- Next, click the User Management option. Alternatively, you can use this direct link.
- Click the Name (i.e. Control Panel Login) of the user for which you are seeking to adjust the role.
- In the Role section, click the Switch button to select the user's new role.
As a note, only a current Admin-level user on the account can perform the adjustment of role-based access permissions.
