Find out if Vultr-managed permission policies can be modified. Vultr-managed policies are read-only and cannot be edited, but you can create custom policies.
No. Vultr-managed permission policies are predefined and maintained entirely by Vultr. Their underlying permission definitions are fixed you can assign them to users, groups, and roles, but you cannot alter what permissions they grant.
This is by design. Managed permission policies are intended to provide a stable, predictable baseline that works correctly out of the box without any configuration on your part. Vultr updates them automatically when new services are launched or existing ones change, ensuring they stay current without requiring any action from you.
If a managed policy does not exactly meet your requirements, the recommended approach is to create a custom permission policy via the Vultr API or Console that defines the precise set of permissions your use case requires. Custom policies can then be attached to users, groups, or roles alongside or instead of managed policies.
When Vultr makes changes to a managed permission policy, non-breaking changes such as adding permissions for a newly launched service are applied automatically. Any breaking change such as removing a permission will be communicated in advance through a deprecation notice.
