Minitab Connect access type for users

Minitab Connect provides the following access type based on the user role.

Dashboard / Form: Can access forms, dashboards, and exports based on the user group permissions.
Standard: All permissions are the same as the dashboard/form user.
Can also create collections, views, visuals, exports, flows, alarms, and create and use all conditional formatting.
Creative / Power: All permissions are the same as the standard user.
Can also create and manage themes, dashboards, connections, field types, tables, forms, business processes, auto import configurations, raw to clean mapping, and file import locations.
Admin: All permissions are the same as the creative/power user.
Can also create and manage all non-Developer users and user groups in their customer account, as well as manage their customer settings. The Admin does not have access to users at the Developer level.
Developer: All permissions are the same as the admin user. The Developer has access to see all users because they are at the highest level.
