Application Roles in Loome Assist:
- Administrator: Users with the Administrator role have full control of Loome Assist. They are able to manage Agents, Connections, Projects, Rules and Users.
- Project Creator: Users with the Project Creator role can manage all projects in this Loome Assist tenant.
- Consumer: Users with the Consumer role can view projects in Loome Assist. This role has read-only privileges, so users will not be able to modify projects. If an email notification was sent to an email address that does not have a role in Loome Assist, then that user will be assigned to the Consumer role. This user can then sign in and view the project they were assigned to as a Consumer.

How to Add Users to an Application Role
Find the application role page from the top right settings menu, as shown in the image below.
Beside the role that you would like to add a user to, click on Add in the top right corner of that role and a slide-out will be expanded.
Choose the type of member that you want to add. This can be a user, a group or an API Key.
Manually Add Users
In this slide-out, type in the email address of the user and then click Add.
Click on Invite and this user will receive an email invitation. This email will contain a link to Loome Assist. This user can then log in, and can access Loome Assist with the permissions of the role you have selected.
Search for Users and Groups
Choose whether you want to add a User or Group. If your organization has enabled lookup, you can search for a user or group in your organization.
Users
To add a user, you can search for a user by name in the ‘Add User’ field.
Click on your chosen users. They will be displayed beneath the dropdown.
You can also manually add an email address and select the first option from the dropdown.
Click on Submit to save the chosen user(s).
Groups
To add a group, you can search for the group by name. You can then choose the group from the dropdown.
You can view the members of a group by selecting the group and clicking on the group icon beside it.
Loome will also display the email address, if available, for the group beside it.
Click on Submit to save the chosen group(s).
Application Role Status
If a user has only been sent an invitation, their status will remain as ‘User Invitation’ until they log in, in which their status will change to ‘User’.
Delete a User from a Role
Find the user on the application roles page.
Click on the Delete button at the end of a row beside the user’s name.
This will delete the user from this tenant and any project roles.
Deleting a Group
Click on Delete at the end of a row beside the group.
Deleting an API Key
Click on Delete at the end of a row beside the API Key.
How to Add a User to a Project Level Role?
You can apply project level roles to users when creating a project. These roles will apply to a specific project, and will need to be applied to each project individually.
