Roles and Permissions

Access in Bluesonde is controlled by roles. Every member of an organization has one or more roles, and those roles decide what they can see and do. This page explains the roles you will encounter and who can do what.

The Roles

There are two main roles on the Dashboard:

• Organization Admin. Admins manage Devices, Deployments, Sites, Alert Rules, invites, and developer credentials.
• User. Anyone signed in who is not an admin. Users can view organization data and use the self-service features below.

Bluesonde support staff also has elevated access to help you.

Managing Roles

Organization Admins assign a role when they invite someone, so the invite link already carries the right level of access. Later, an Admin can change a member's roles or remove them from the organization on the Organization page.
