Configuring Roles and Permissions with AccelByte Game Backend Platform

In order to keep your fans interested in your brand, you need to have consistent delivery of high quality services. In the gaming industry, common problems with service quality include game crashes, purchasing errors, or agreement issues. It’s critical that you are ready to help your players fix any issues they may face, and one way to ensure this is by having a feature-rich user account management system.

Our platform gives you the ability to maximize admin coverage and fully customize admin and user privileges by including a finely grained roles and permissions system. With this feature, you can grant or deny access to any of your games’ features to individual admins. This allows your admins to specialize and focus on managing certain player issues.

Below, we’ve included a quick look at how to create and manage roles and permissions using our Admin Portal, which serves as the dashboard of our platform. For a more detailed tutorial, be sure to check out our documentation.
