...
A User is the individual. Each User has a unique log on. We recommend they Users are set up using the first initial and last name of a user, ie Keith Smith's log on would be ksmith.
A Role is the set of Activities that a User has access to. There are default Roles already in Sigma, but and new Roles can be added to suit the needs of your Users.
The Permission Management section is for updating users Users who have restricted access to a select group of sitesselected Site(s). For example, a Head of a school Headteacher may want access just to the Energy Viewer for their school , and not the whole portfolio.
