Video Overview
Security roles can be assigned to users to grant or limit their ability to view, alter, or perform actions on elements within the Control Center. We provide five default security roles which should cover most of all of your users' needed permissions within the Control Center. These include:
- Administrator: Full System Access and Management
- Power User: Power Users may create and manage any information they please with the exception of account, security, users and groups
- Technician: The Technician may manage Events and Metadata properties, but may not manage preferences nor be allowed to edit source information
- Read Only: Can view only, cannot make changes
- Analyst: View and create reports

Say you have a User who you want to be able to Create and view (Read) Events as well as record them but don't want them to be able to Delete them. To accomplish this you'd ensure the Delete permission on the Event Permissions group is deselected while also making sure the others such as Read, Update, and Create are checked.
