Introduction

The administration activity is split into five sections;

A User refers to the individual login required per user.

A Role is a specific category of user with custom activity permissions. You can assign different roles for different user activities (such as Bill Entry or Energy Managers).

The permission management is for updating users who have restricted access to a select group of sites.  For example, a Head of a school may want access just to the Energy Viewer for their school, not the whole portfolio.

By default you will have a template role that has all available activities. It is recommended you configure your required roles before creating the individual users. Selecting one of these thumbnails will open that activity in a new tab.

Default Roles

Admin User – full access (read and write) including Admin activity.

Read Only User – read only access to all activities excluding Admin.

Standard User – full access (read and write) excluding the Admin activity.

Note: You will only be able to see a sub-activity if the master activity has been selected.
