Users

Every user is assigned an appropriate account type based on their role. Internal account types are for members of the Operator's organization while external account types are for Customers and Developers using the Operator's network.

User accounts can be created, edited, deleted and exported to a CSV file from the Users page under Administration. New accounts created from the login page are assigned the Developer role by default, but can be upgraded to accommodate other roles as needed.

Account Types

The account type determines the feature set and data accessible to the user. Internal account types give users access to network wide data and include features to manage customers, monitor resources and operate the network. External account types are for customers and developers who are using the operator's network.
