What are Roles?

In O3, roles define your level of access within a project. They can be created at the system or plant level, meaning you need system or plant admin access.


Navigation

System Admin

Click on the (1) cogwheel on the left side of your screen > (2) User Admin > (3) Roles.

Plant Admin

Click on the cogwheel on the left side of your screen, then find your plant in the grid.

Then click on the Roles tab.


Creating Roles

Click on the + sign in the top-right corner of your grid.

Note that system admins can assign roles to multiple plants, while roles created at the plant level will be assigned automatically.


The Roles Matrix

When you're done entering your role's info, click Save. You'll be brought to the role's matrix.

Here you can define what your teammates have access to, as well as their level of access.

While the matrix is long, you'll notice the permissions are similar for each item. We outline the more common permissions below.
