Configure users, roles and permissions

The assignment of roles and permissions is done in GRIP. This Identity and Access Management platform is developed by KPN, specifically designed for Business Users. It enables organizations to securely and efficiently manage access to their applications and services.

To assign roles, you must be an admin of the account. As an administrator, you can add or remove users and configuratie roles and permissions for your services.

Then ask your administrator to provide you with the admin rights. In case you don't know who is the administrator for your organization is, please contact us.
