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.
