Model script editor role

reference australia Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read model-script-editor-roles.md

This role grants write access to the scripted condition fields on model state transition conditions and model condition types.

Role required to edit scripted condition fields

Role	Description	Elevated privilege	Grants write access to
`change_model_script_admin`	Enables modification of the scripted condition fields on transition conditions and transition condition types.	false	Scripted condition fields on change model state transition conditions and change model condition types.

No existing role inherits either of these roles, so assign the applicable role directly. For information on assigning a role to a user, see Assign a role to a user.

Where the role applies

The same scripted condition field appears in several places, and the role protects all of them:

Model state transition conditions, where Requires is set to Transition Script. To edit the script, see Configure change model states.
Model condition types, where Condition type is set to Script. To edit the script, see Create predefined transition condition types.

Note: A user who doesn't have the role can still open the record and read the script. The script editor is displayed in read-only mode, and pointing to the editor displays the message Cannot edit in read-only editor. All other fields on the record continue to follow the existing access controls.
