Automation Permissions
Automation permissions are fully independent of Integration and Open API permissions. Users with “Modify” rights on the relevant sub-permissions can import automation results and create assets in QMetry.

Note
A role that previously had View Automation permissions receives View on both Automation API and Automation Agent. A role that previously had Modify Automation permission receives Modify on both Automation API and Automation Agent. No manual reconfiguration is required for existing roles to retain their automation access.
