About user roles and permissions
This section provides details about the permissions available to each role on the Veracode Platform. To see which roles are often relevant to different users in your organization, see Common roles for user accounts.
To grant access to the Veracode APIs, administrators assign the necessary API roles to users with an API service account. To see the roles assigned to your account, you can click Your Account from the top navigation menu in the Veracode Platform.
Do not share your account credentials for the Veracode Platform with other users.
Administrator
Can manage users, teams, and SAML settings. Administrator access can be granted either by Veracode Technical Support or, if your organization uses SSO with IdP data preferred, through a SAML assertion. A user with the Administrator and eLearning roles is considered an eLearning administrator and can manage Veracode eLearning administration tasks.
Creator
Can create, edit, and delete application profiles, as well as request and delete scans for applications that belong to the user's teams. Can only create application profiles for teams in which the user with the Creator role is a member. Can assign applications to teams. Can allow next-day consultations for an application. Can schedule consultation calls for scan configurations. Can view the list of applications to which you have access. Can also promote a sandbox scan to a policy scan and delete sandbox scans. You can assign the Creator role for specific scan types or for all scan types. In addition, if your user account is restricted to specific scan types, you can only request scans of that type.
Delete Scans
Can delete scans. To be able to delete scans, you must also have the Security Lead or Creator role. Can view the list of applications to which you have access.
eLearning
Can access Veracode eLearning courses, assessments, and/or the Knowledge Base.
Assigning a role to an eLearning user (learner) consumes one of your purchased Veracode eLearning seats when the learner launches a course. If a learner does not launch a course, you can assign the role to another user. You can only assign as many roles as you have purchased seats.

Sandbox User
Can create and edit development sandboxes that enable scanning code in development for applications that belong to the user teams. Can scan code within a development sandbox, delete their scan, review results of a sandbox scan, add comments, and propose mitigations. Can schedule consultation calls for sandbox scan results. You can promote the sandbox scan to a policy scan, which counts toward your policy compliance score, if you:
- Have the Sandbox User role with the Creator or Submitter role

Security Insights
Can access Veracode Analytics where the user can view scan metrics of applications in the user's team portfolio, and custom reports.
Security Labs User

Sandbox capabilities
The following table summarizes the Sandbox permissions available to each role on the Veracode Platform.
Developers can create sandboxes within existing application profiles, and use them to submit the application code for analysis while still in development. Sandbox scans do not affect the developer's ability to run a formal policy scan of the application, and the results of the sandbox scans do not degrade the policy status or flaw metrics of the production version of the application.
