Roles

Roles define a set of permissions or privileges that control the system functions available to specific users. A user may have multiple roles. Every user needs at least one role.

The system provides default roles for which permissions are already configured.

The Admin role has full system privileges and can see all views and administrator-only functions including those involving controller setup, network discovery, and object linking.
The Badge Operator role may handle only badge administration, view reports and create custom reports, but cannot configure properties, view or acknowledge alarms.
The Maintenance role includes the ability to view hardware reports and perform system maintenance tasks, such as configuring remote controllers, creating and updating graphics, as well as adding and editing user-role information.
The primary task of the Operator role is to monitor and acknowledge alarms using the alarm console. The operator can view, but not edit, certain other system and personnel reports.
The Personnel Management role provides access to tenant and personnel views. This user can edit personnel and badge management properties and has read-only access to access right and tenant management properties.

The following tables summarize the features each default role can access.
