Account Management
Account owners have access to the account management section. To access the section, open the top left dropdown menu and click "Manage Account":
Destinations
On the "Destination" tab you see the list of account destinations. To add a destination, click "+ Destination." To remove an existing destination, click the cross icon on the right.
Permissions
On the "Users" tab you can manage the account/destination members and their permissions.
To add a new account/destination member click on "+ User" button at the top right. To remove an existing user, click on the cross icon on the right adjacent to the corresponding user.
The second column of the table represents account member roles. The following columns represent roles for account destinations (one column per destination).

Destination Permissions

It's also possible to define custom destination roles.
Custom Destination Permissions
The feature is available only for Enterprise accounts.
In addition to basic Destination Permissions, you can configure custom destination roles:
Custom destination roles enable account owners to create and assign custom roles to limit create, edit, and delete access to specific connector types. Built-in roles (Admin, Analyst, Uploader, and Read Only) are also available in the roles list, but you can't modify them.
