How to assign one or more roles to users in Everbridge Suite.

Description:

Starting with the March 15, 2023 release, users must have at least one role assigned to them. This means:

  • if you add a new user and do not assign that user a role, you will get an error message and be unable to save that user
  • If you edit an existing user that has no role, and you do not assign that user a role, you will be unable to save any changes made to that user record
