Account Permissions

This page provides the account-level permissions available in AppDynamics. You can set account permissions for custom roles from the Account tab in the Controller Administration UI. Most installations have one account per Controller. Usually, only very large installations or installations that have very distinct sets of users may require multiple accounts.

You can have multiple accounts when you select multi-tenant mode on your Controller. See Controller Deployment.

• In multi-tenant mode, the Controller UI context is divided into separate accounts. Each account has its own set of users, agents reporting to it, and application monitoring configuration.
• The account predefined role is the Account Owner. This role is also known as the account administrator and has all account-level permissions except Execute Workflows. This role can also create applications and dashboards and has all database visibility-related permissions.
• Most Account-level permissions can be considered administrative permissions and apply account-wide across business applications, products, and multiple application instances for the same account.

The following table lists the permissions that can be set at the account level.
