User roles and permissions

Real-Time SPCTM provides four standard user roles with default permissions for each role. Roles are available through the Administration portal.
Administrator
Administrators have all permissions.
Engineer
Engineers have all permissions, except that they cannot manage users.
Supervisor
Supervisors have selected permissions to enter data observations, set station status, view the supervisor and station dashboards, and edit preferences for the operations portal.
Operator
Operators have selected permissions to enter data observations, set station status, view the station dashboards, and edit preferences for the operations portal.
The default permissions for the user are based on the assigned role. You can change the role names and the default permissions.
  • To add a role, select Add Role and enter the role name and a description of the role.
  • To specify permissions based on role to grant or restrict access to specific items, select Manage permissions.
Tip

Access to specific items is different from user permissions. To give process, product, or station access to a user, go to Manage users.
