User Group Administration is accessed via the icon on the left hand side of the PhixFlow application console.
PhixFlow has 6 user groups enabled by default, each with a set of Roles defined. Any user who is part of the Administrator group has permissions to update these default roles, although it is recommended that these roles be left alone. If a different set of permissions is required other than what is available in the existing User Groups, that new Group (and its Privileges) should be defined separately, and given it's own Privileges and access to PhixFlow components.
The 6 default user groups are :
| User Group | Description |
|---|---|
| Administrators | Users who can add new Users and modify other user's accounts |
| Designers | Users who create models and can updated general configuration |
| Guests | Users who are able to view Configurations, but have few other privileges |
| Startup | A User Group with privileges to administer other users. When PhixFlow is first installed a startup user - a member of this group is created. This user should be deleted after the system is set up and other users have been defined |
| Users | Users who can view data and respond to Alarms and Tasks |
| SuperUsers | Managers who have full access to the data and can create filters and views on it (but who do not actually create or update underlying models |
Only users who are part of the Administrators User Group can create, delete or update another users' credentials.
