Why do I have to select a User Group?

User Groups are a great way of splitting up your users into different teams so you can assign them different permissions. Your account comes pre-configured with a default group, and until you decide you want to create more groups, you can simply assign all your users to the default one. Don’t worry, you can always change this later!

Which role should I assign?

Depending on the level of access you want to give a user, you can assign them certain user roles. There are five different roles you can choose from:

Account Admin

They can manage assets, such as creating, modifying or deleting users, customers, buildings and devices. Their permissions include:

  • Manage users and user groups
  • Manage customers and customer groups
