Citrix SecurSpaces™

Platform roles

Most access in Citrix SecurSpaces™ is granted through project roles, which apply inside a single project. Platform roles are different: they apply across the whole platform, whichever organization or project the person belongs to.

Platform roles are assigned in System Configuration, under Platform Roles. Only a platform administrator can open that page.

Available roles

Role What it grants
Security officer Access to security-sensitive areas such as system analytics and audit data. Only a platform administrator can assign or remove this role.
Data privacy officer Names the contact for data privacy responsibilities on the platform.

The security officer role also carries privileges that project roles cannot grant. For example, a security officer can turn on Bypass Schedule for a workspace, so that it keeps running instead of pausing when idle. See Workspace idle detection.
