What do permissions on applications mean?
Last updated: November 26, 2025
Permissions in Cakewalk describe the type or scope of access a user has to a third-party application. For example, a user might have Admin, Editor or Viewer permissions depending on their role. Permissions are used to:
Provide a clear overview of who can do what within a third-party app
Support granular access reviews and approvals
Flag users with elevated access for closer governance
Permissions can be customized to reflect your organization’s terminology and mapped to access types specific to each application.
