How to Update a Role

1 min readUpdated 1 June 2026

Update an existing IAM role in your Vultr organization. Modify the role name, description, or type configuration through the Vultr API or the Console.

Updating a role allows you to change its name, description, type, or session duration. This is useful when you need to adjust access levels or rebrand a role to reflect its current purpose. You can also convert an assignable role to an assumable role or vice versa by changing the role_type field.

Follow this guide to update a role using the Vultr Console, the Vultr API, or Terraform.

Log in to the Vultr Console.
Click the organization name in the top navigation bar.
Click Manage Organization.
Click the Roles tab.
Click the name of the role you want to update.
Click the Edit icon in the Details section.
Update the Name or Description as needed.
Click Save Changes.
