User Roles

A user's role determines their access to GUI and SCI functions.

  • Administrator (C3) – a library administrator. This role has access to nearly every function and can manager other users.
  • User (C2) – the role for day-to-day operators of the library. This role can perform most actions on the library, but some are off-limits, such as configuring partitions or creating users.
  • Operator (C1) – a role with fewer privileges than a User. This role only has access to a small subset of actions such as viewing data and operating CAPs.
  • Viewer (V) – a read-only role. Users with this role can view, but not alter, anything on the library.
  • Service (S1) – a special role for service technicians. This role can pull service bundles, run diagnostics, change configuration settings, and so on.
  • Advanced Service (S2) – an enhanced service role with additional access for diagnosing and repairing the library.
  • Escalation (S3) – the highest level of service role with extensive access to repair the library.
  • Installer (I) – a special role used during the initial installation and configuration of the library. This role is only available before library handoff to the customer.

Available Functions for Each User Role

A user's role determines which functions of the library they can access.

The following table lists which user roles have the authorization/permissions to perform a particular function (x = the role can perform the function).
