Roles

Roles allow you to set up types of users with different permissions to data and features in your organization.

By default, each organization starts with Orginzation Administrator, Team Administrator, Member, and Ops Viewer, Data Owner and Supervisor roles already set up.

*We strongly caution administrators against modifying the existing roles and recommend adding new roles. See the instructions below.

• Organization Administrator can add new users, create teams, edit permissions, and edit organization settings.
• Team Administrators can read, update, create, and manage all data on teams they are members of in the organization. They also can add new team members, edit team member's permissions, and edit team settings.
• Members have a mix of read, update, create, and manage permissions for different kinds of data for teams they are members of in the organization. They also can edit their own user profile.
• Ops Viewers can only access the full set of features in the Operations Hub.
• Supervisor this role initially has no permissions and is available for admins to add or remove permissions to fit their organization's needs.

Users can have more than one role in the organization. Whenever a user has multiple roles, the most permissive role applies.

To give a user more permissions, apply a role that contains those permissions. If a role does not exist that has the permissions you need, you should create a new role.

DroneSense Remote Roles

In addition to the above default roles, DroneSense Remote (DSR) organizations also come with the following DSR-specific roles:

• Remote Viewers can access the DSR interface, add and edit launch sites, emergency sites, and so on. Users with this default DSR role will not be able to connect a controller or perform a DSR flight.
• Remote Pilots can connect a controller and perform a DSR flight. IMPORTANT: Remote Pilot users must have the Remote Viewer role as well to be able to access the DSR interface.
