### Overview

CenturyLink Cloud provides a secure multi-tenant platform by strictly segmenting customer accounts from each other. This includes a strict separation between customer accounts including: cloud servers, networks, users, firewall policies, and all associated metadata. The ability to create hard fenced accounts has been fully extended to customers through the introduction of [Sub Accounts](../Accounts & Users/creating-a-sub-account.md).

The CenturyLink Cloud services team is specially positioned to help customers design the most effective account hierarchy. Note that account structure and naming cannot be changed once created (though subaccounts can always be created/removed).

**Description (goal/purpose)**

When a Lumen employee requires access to a Role in a customer environment, the following procedures must be followed.

**Audience**

* Lumen Employees
* Lumen Cloud Customers

**Prerequisites**

* Must have a Lumen Cloud Control Portal account (https://control.ctl.io).

**Detailed Steps**

**Option 1**: Request that the Lumen Cloud customer add you to the appropriate role. This is self-service for the customer.

**Option 2**: Have the Lumen Cloud customer request you be added to the appropriate Role via the Lumen ticketing process. Make sure to include the specific Role(s) required and make sure the customer provides their Control Portal PIN for identity verification. Ensure the Lumen Cloud customer CC’s you on the request. Once the request is provided by the Lumen Cloud customer, permissions will be granted and the ticket will be processed per SLA.

### Description

CenturyLink Cloud currently offers eight roles that are available to assign users to. A brief description of each role is available on the [User Permissions page](../Accounts & Users/user-permissions.md), and a complete list of actions that can be performed by each role can be found in the [Role Permissions Matrix](../Accounts & Users/role-permissions-matrix.md). These roles were designed to align with job functions that are frequently found in many organizations, but they may not perfectly match up with the specific use cases or job titles found in your organization. This article will give some examples and guidelines for using roles and account hierarchies for managing security and access in the Control Portal.

**Q: How are these roles different from the previous ones that were available?**

A: Previously, CenturyLink Cloud offered a very small set of roles (called "area permissions") that allowed for broadly restricting large parts of the Control Portal for a few specialty users (such as a Billing Administrator). To perform the vast majority of activities in the platform, it was required to be an Account Administrator, which often meant opening up more permissions than were required for a user to complete their necessary tasks. The newer implementation supports more granularity of control as well as the ability for some users to have read-only access to some areas without the ability to change the configuration. Information on migrating existing users into the new roles model can be found in the [Roles Migration Guide](roles-migration-guide.md).

### Description

CenturyLink Cloud uses role-based access control (RBAC) for restricting system access for specific areas of the platform to authorized users only. Prior to the release of the currently available eight roles that are designed to align with job functions generally found in most organizations, there was a much smaller and less scalable role set that resulted in a number of users being given more access than they needed to perform their job duties. The guidelines below will help customers migrate from using the four legacy roles to leveraging the eight new more granular ones.
