Access Control

Access control is a security technique that regulates what roles can view or use options in a UA.

The following columns display:

  • Levels: Displays the UA application options that you can apply permissions to.

  • Permissions: Displays the permissions that you can give a role per option.

  • Roles: Displays the default roles and any added roles and the association of actions per role.

Default roles

UA includes a set of default roles which provide access to certain, commonly needed, privileged capabilities and information. Administrators can grant these default roles to users and add new custom roles. The default roles are: Super Admin, Admin, Read Only, and Read/Write. By default, the Super Admin and Admin are granted full access to all of the UA options. You cannot edit the Super Admin permissions.

Permission structure

The permission structure is by the following UA areas: configuration, preferences, reporting, administration and data visibility.
