General Roles
General roles are the default role type, whose permissions are automatically applied (if applicable) to all objects in Micetro, present and future.
To create a General role, follow the instructions on Roles, and select the General type from the dropdown in the role creation dialog. (The default type is General.)
Example: The general role DNS editor has the Edit zone options permission enabled. Any ‘DNS zone’ type object in Micetro, whether already existing or added in the future, will be accessible to users/groups attached to this role.
Built-in roles
Micetro has seven built-in general roles that will likely cover most use cases for access control.
The built-in roles are the following:

- User Administrators
Full access to User and Group objects.
- DNS viewers

- Requesters
Able to make and queue DNS change requests. (See Workflow.)
- Approvers

Note
General roles can be restricted from accessing single objects. See Object access.
