Permit.io

Permit.io Roles API

Roles allow you to associate permissions indirectly via a job function. The Roles API allows you to manipulate roles: assign or unassign permissions to a role, define hierarchy between roles or define relationships between resource roles. Roles manipulated by this API are **tenant roles**, meaning when they are assigned, they are assigned on a tenant.
