15. User Management
The Connectivity Suite user hierarchy consists of three different user roles.
15.1. Platform Admin
The Platform Admin is the highest in the role hierarchy. A Platform Admin can administer the complete Connectivity Suite instance. This means he can administer VPN Networks, Devices and users.
15.2. Network Admin
A Network Admin can only administer Devices connected to a specific VPN Network. A Network Admin can assign the Network Admin and Network user roles for VPN he administrates to other users.
15.3. Network user
The Network user only can access and monitor Devices within specific VPN Network. However, a Network user is not allowed to manipulate Devices via the Connectivity Suite.
