Default User Access Level Privileges

The access level that is assigned to a user in Power Monitoring Expert determines the permissions this user has in the system. There are five access levels - Observer, User, Controller, Operator, and Supervisor. Certain default privileges are assigned to the different access levels. Some of these privileges are configurable. See Customizing Access Level Privileges for details.

NOTE: Access to the web applications is controlled through user group settings. If a user group does not have access to a web application, then the group members cannot access this application regardless of their user access permissions.

The following table shows the system default privileges assigned to the different access levels:
