Permissions Overview

Administrative permissions are provided at two basic levels: Station Administration and User Administration. General users, however, can have most station administration permissions if assigned by the user administrator, as shown in Table 3‑1.

Station Administration

Station Administrators have full access to stations that are registered on the FluxSuite Server and can register new stations (Manage Stations). Station Administrators can Manage Alerts for a Station, Download Summary Reports, Manage Stations, and Deactivate Stations.

User Administration

User Administrators have full access to User Profile features on the FluxSuite Server. User Administrators can Add Users to FluxSuite, Editing User Information, and Change User Roles.

Important: User Administrators can disable their own User Admin permissions. If you are a User Administrator, and disable User Admin permission for your own profile, you'll have to contact another administrator to re-enable your permissions.
