Overview

RBAC in CrewAI Enterprise enables secure, scalable access management through a combination of organization‑level roles and automation‑level visibility controls.
RBAC overview in CrewAI Enterprise

​
Users and Roles

Each member in your CrewAI workspace is assigned a role, which determines their access across various features. You can:
  • Use predefined roles (Owner, Member)
  • Create custom roles tailored to specific permissions
  • Assign roles at any time through the settings panel
You can configure users and roles in Settings → Roles.
1

Open Roles settings

Go to Settings → Roles in CrewAI Enterprise.
2

Choose a role type

Use a predefined role (Owner, Member) or click Create role to define a custom one.
3

Assign to members

Select users and assign the role. You can change this anytime.

​
Automation‑level Access Control

In addition to organization‑wide roles, CrewAI Automations support fine‑grained visibility settings that let you restrict access to specific automations by user or role. This is useful for:
  • Keeping sensitive or experimental automations private
  • Managing visibility across large teams or external collaborators
  • Testing automations in isolated contexts
Deployments can be configured as private, meaning only whitelisted users and roles will be able to:
  • View the deployment
  • Run it or interact with its API
  • Access its logs, metrics, and settings
The organization owner always has access, regardless of visibility settings. You can configure automation‑level access control in Automation → Settings → Visibility tab.
1

Open Visibility tab

Navigate to Automation → Settings → Visibility.
2

Set visibility

Choose Private to restrict access. The organization owner always retains access.
3

Whitelist access

Add specific users and roles allowed to view, run, and access logs/metrics/settings.
4

Save and verify

Save changes, then confirm that non‑whitelisted users cannot view or run the automation.
