Decide on whether to use Datadog roles

Problem

Roles can be used to restrict access to dashboards and monitors.

Solution

Option 1: Default Roles (Recommended)

tip

Stick with the Default roles unless you need the granularity

Datadog ships with the standard roles of admin, standard, and read only

Option 2: Custom Roles

Custom roles give you the ability to define a more granular access model. To enable custom roles, datadog support must be contacted.
