Understanding Cloud Seat Roles

In addition to a Seat Type, every Cloud seat is assigned a Seat Role.

A Seat Role determines what level of access a user has within the RGP Cloud Dashboard.

There are three Cloud Seat Roles:

  • Standard Seat
  • Group Admin
  • Cloud Organization Admin

Important: Seat Roles are different from Seat Types.

A Seat Type determines how a seat is used (Personal Seat or Workstation Seat).

A Seat Role determines what permissions the user has in the RGP Cloud Dashboard.

Standard Seat

A Standard Seat provides access to Rock Gym Pro Cloud without administrative permissions.

Most users should be assigned the Standard Seat role.

Standard Seat Permissions

Standard Seat users can:

  • Access Rock Gym Pro Cloud with their seat credentials
  • Reset their cloud seat password (if it is a Personal seat as well)

Standard Seat users cannot:

  • Manage Cloud seats
  • Assign seat roles
  • Manage Cloud Dashboard administration settings

Group Admin

A Group Admin has administrative permissions within a specific group.

This role is commonly used by organizations that manage multiple facilities and want to delegate administration to location-specific managers.

Group Admin Permissions

Group Admins can:

  • Manage users within their assigned group

Group Admins cannot:

  • Manage groups they are not assigned to

Common Uses

Group Admin is often assigned to:

  • Facility Managers
  • Regional Managers
  • Department Leaders responsible for a specific group

Cloud Organization Admin

A Cloud Organization Admin has the highest level of access within the Cloud Dashboard.

This role provides organization-wide administrative control across all groups and locations.

Cloud Organization Admin Permissions

Cloud Organization Admins can:

  • Add and remove Cloud seats
  • Assign seat roles
  • Manage users across all groups
  • Manage Group Admin assignments

Common Uses

Cloud Organization Admin is typically assigned to:

  • Owners
  • Executive Leadership
  • Operations Managers
  • IT Administrators

Important Requirements

Administrative Roles Should Be Assigned to Personal Seats

Both Group Admin and Cloud Organization Admin permissions should only be assigned to Personal Seats.

Personal Seats are tied to an individual user and protected by two-factor authentication (2FA).

Do Not Assign Administrative Roles to Workstation Seats

Workstation Seats are intended for shared computers and should never be assigned Group Admin or Cloud Organization Admin permissions.

Permission Hierarchy

Role Scope
Standard Seat No administrative permissions
Group Admin Administrative permissions for assigned group(s)
Cloud Organization Admin Administrative permissions across the entire organization
