Users and roles

The two types of user roles in IBM® Maximo® Visual Inspection are application administrators and premium application users.

Users and role assignments are managed at the IBM Maximo Application Suite level. For more information, see Manage users.

Premium application users

Premium application users can do all of the activities that are required to create and deploy a model. The only limitation is that these users can view and edit only those resources that they created.

Application administrators

An IBM Maximo Visual Inspection deployment can have multiple application administrators.

Application administrators can see and manage all resources in IBM Maximo Visual Inspection, including resources owned by other application administrators. Application administrators can interact with objects in the following manner:
Data sets
  • An application administrator can see and edit all data sets. That is, this user can add and delete files, create labels, assign categories, duplicate, rename, and delete the data set.
  • If an application administrator uploads a file to a different user's data set, it is listed as being owned by the data set owner.
  • If an application administrator duplicates a data set, the duplicate data set is owned by that administrator.
Models
  • An application administrator can see, rename, and delete all models, including models that are deployed.
  • If an application administrator trains a model, the training task and the generated model are owned by that administrator.
  • If an application administrator deploys a model, the deployed model is owned by that administrator.
Project groups
  • An application administrator can add assets to a project group that was created by a different user. However, the project group owner is not able to see the added assets because only application administrators can see resources that were created by other users. Because of this restriction, the value for "Total items" on the Projects page might be larger than the number of items shown on a project's details page.
Usage metrics
  • Only application administrators can access usage metrics.

    From Maximo Visual Inspection version 8.7, you can create and access a Grafana dashboard. In the dashboard, you can visualize runtime metrics, such as training, and inference metrics. For more information about Grafana dashboards, see Installing Grafana.
