Not able to assign security_admin role to any user

[Afsar Hussain]

Hi , As an admin, I am not able to assign security_admin role to any user. Even when I am adding that role to any user, it is not getting added without any error message. Can anyone help me here? Regards, Afsar

You have to elevate yourself to Security Admin, then you can assign the role.

HI @Afsar Hussain ,
I trust you are doing fine.
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Verify that you have the necessary permissions as an admin to assign roles.
2. Check if the security_admin role exists in your instance.
3. Try assigning the role to a different user to see if the issue is user-specific.
4. Check the system logs for any error messages related to role assignments.

But I am not a system admin and just with the admin account when I am clicking on elevate role that security_admin checkbox is not coming because I do not have security_admin role.

See screenshot for the more clear explanation.

You can ONLY assign that role IF you elevate your access. If you don't have it, you can't assign it.
