Diagram: Role assignment controls Access and Logging behavior for C4 Diagram Sets in the C4 Set Permissions tab.
Phase 1 permission scope
| Permission | Scope | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Global and per C4 Diagram Set | Controls who can open and work with assigned sets. Set-level value can inherit from global value. |
| Logging | Global | Controls grouped-log dynamic diagram capability for C4 workflows. |
Recommended permission strategy
- Grant Access to architecture consumers.
- Grant Logging to users who need grouped-log dynamic diagram capabilities.
- Review assignments regularly so only required Roles have Logging enabled.
Role assignment behavior
In the Role editor, administrators use C4 Set Permissions (x) to manage set assignments and permission values:
- The value x shows the number of assigned C4 Diagram Sets.
- Use the Edit flow to add or remove C4 Diagram Sets from the Role.
- Configure Access per assigned set and Logging at global scope.
Logging and grouped-log dynamic diagrams
When Logging is not allowed for a user's Role, grouped-log dynamic diagram entry points are hidden for that user. Grant Logging only to Roles that should use this capability.
