Roles and permissions

The emnify Portal is a powerful application to control the connectivity of devices of a production system.

Employees across your organization may use the Portal, from operations and finance to development and product. That's why emnify offers three levels of access (referred to as Roles) to use and manage Portal features:

  • Administrator (has access to all services and user management)
  • Observer (has access to limited services)
  • User (has access to all services)

To view and edit these roles, go to Organization settings > Employees.

The following tables describe the permissions for different roles.
