Automation Permissions
Note
Starting in version 8.27, permissions have been enhanced with granular access control. Upgrade to version 8.27 or later to use this feature.
Automation permissions are fully independent of Integration and Open API permissions. Users with “Modify” rights on the relevant sub-permissions can import automation results and create assets in QMetry.

Note
A role that previously had View Automation permissions receives View on both Automation API and Automation Agent. A role that previously had Modify Automation permission receives Modify on both Automation API and Automation Agent. No manual reconfiguration is required for existing roles to retain their automation access.
