Roles

Overview

Control Room utilizes an access control system based on Roles. Roles is a collection of Permissions. Roles represent the Permissions needed to access certain Control Room entities.

You can assign one or multiple Roles for Users to perform particular operations inside the Control Room. Since Users are not assigned permissions directly but only acquire them through Roles, managing access control involves setting appropriate Roles for Users.
