Operator Guide
Operator access is built from two layers: a System Operator system role and an Organization Operator organization role. The organization role is what grants day-to-day Workbench access inside a specific organization. See Role Model for the general model.
Operator roles
Note
System Operator alone is not a complete operations role. Assign Organization Operator in the organization where the user needs to connect to assets and perform day-to-day work.
System Operator baseline
The system role provides the personal and cross-organization baseline used with an organization role:
- Profile, Preferences, and Notifications
- Access Keys and Tokens
- Workbench Overview and the Workbench entry
- JumpServer Client and Asset Connection
Organization Operator
Organization Operator uses Workbench inside the assigned organization. It does not administer users, assets, authorizations, or platform settings.
Workbench
- Overview
- Access Assets
- File Transfer
- Personal Credentials
- Job Center โ Adhoc, Jobs, Templates, and Execution History
- Tickets & Approvals โ Submitted and Assigned tickets
- Tools
Client
- Client Overview โ desktop client features and requirements
- Asset Connection โ Linux, Windows, database, and web assets
- Connection Settings โ local preferences and application paths
General
- Global Search
- Notifications
- Profile
- AI Assistant when enabled for the deployment
Scope boundaries
- Console administration, PAM lifecycle automation, Audits, and System Settings are not part of Organization Operator by default.
- Flow Setup in Workbench > Tickets & Approvals is an administrative configuration, not an operator task. Operators use Submitted and Assigned.
- To use Workbench in another organization, assign Organization Operator there and switch organizations.
Assigning operator roles
- Assign System Operator as the user's system role when a baseline account is required.
- Invite the user to the target organization with Organization Operator.
- Switch organizations to confirm the Workbench shows the expected authorized assets.
