User Management

In IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite, organization administrators can add and remove users and assign roles.

The account name is listed first in the page header, followed by the organization name. If you have access to more than one account or organization, you can switch between them using the lists.

User roles

Organization administrators can invite colleagues inside or outside of their organization to IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite. The permissions of each user depend on their access group. Users can be part of one or more of the following access groups:
Account administrators
Users with this role can manage organizations and applications in the account. This role cannot be assigned in the User management feature.
Note: Inside of an organization, the permissions of Account administrators are based on the other user roles that they are assigned within it, which are Organization administrator, Builder user, and General user. Account administrators must also have an Organization administrator role to add and modify users in their organization.
Organization administrator
Users with this role can add, invite, edit, and delete users in their organization. They can also add other organization administrators and manage applications for the organization.
Builder user
Users with this role can view, create, and manage assets for their organization by using the Builders.
Important: Users must be assigned both an Organization administrator and a Builder user role to access the Builders in the side menu.
General user
Users with this role can view users in their account and use the applications that they are entitled to. All users are assigned this role by default.

      Note: By default, the General user role is added to all IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite users. Additional user roles can be added to grant the user more actions.
