10. User rights management¶

The Connectivity Suite user hierarchy consists of three different user roles.

10.1. 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 Tenants, Devices and users.

10.2. Tenant Admin¶

A Tenant Admin can only administer Devices connected to specific Tenants. A Tenant Admin can assign the Tenant Admin and Tenant User roles for Tenants he administrates to other users.

10.3. Tenant User¶

The Tenant User only has a monitoring function for Devices within specific Tenants. A Tenant User is not allowed to manipulate Devices.
