Introduction to Access Profiles¶
Overview¶
Access profiles define the model types that a user is allowed to access, and are assigned to users via Roles (default menus: Role Management > Roles).
Note
Access profiles are subject to the following requirements:
Default access profiles |
These adhere to the following hierarchy of permissions: Provider > Reseller > Customer > Site. For instance, default Customer access profiles have less permissions than Provider access profiles. |
Cloned access profiles |
A cloned access profile has equal or less permissions than the access profile of the admin user who creates the clone. |
When a system upgrade is performed, the default access profiles are updated in accordance with the above.
Note
Existing cloned access profiles are not upgraded. You have to manually update them, or re-clone and modify them from the upgraded, default versions as needed.
