7signal Sapphire Carat Carat User Guide Release 3.1
8.3 User Access Levels
The Sapphire system supports three elementary access levels for user groups: Reporter,
Configurator and Administrator. Access rights are inherited from lower to higher levels:
Reporter users only have their own level’s access rights, Configurator users have reporter level
rights plus additional rights granted by their configurator level, and Administrator users have
all rights.
There are four levels of access rights:
• Solution Administrator – system-wide super-user that may be the only user in small
set-ups and should be used only for other administrator definitions in large-scale
environments
• Administrator – full access and management rights
• Configurator – full access rights, no user management rights
• Reporter – access rights to alarms and reports
8.4 User Group And User Management
The Sapphire Carat user management dialog can be accessed from the main menu by selecting
"Manage | Users and groups". Only administrator level users can access user group and user
management in the Sapphire system.
When the user management dialog is opened, a tree view showing the users and user groups
currently existing in the system opens to the left of the dialog.
