WAVE: How do I create custom user roles and permissions?

  • Updated

Applies to: All WAVE

Summary

System Owners and Administrators in WAVE can create new users using either built-in roles or by creating a custom user role.

NOTE: This article refers to WAVE 6.0, the current version. 

WAVE has five (5) built-in user roles:

  • Power Users
  • Advanced Viewers
  • Viewers
  • Live Viewers
  • System Health Viewers

NOTE: Administrators and Power Users are the only roles able to create custom roles in the 
WAVE System. It allows them to customize access to specific System Resources with specific 
access rights.
NOTE: Power Users cannot create or modify other Power Users.
