3.5 User management and access rights
Different access rights can be assigned
to different users, depending on their
role and level of expertise.
This makes it possible to specify which
staff can view which structure nodes
and meters, and who can modify or, if
appropriate, delete values.
3.5.1 User roles
The SuperUser has access to all the functions of the EMC application.
Only one person in the customer's organization can be assigned this role.
The SuperUser can set up accounts for SuperUser deputies.
Deputy SuperUsers automatically have the same rights as the SuperUser.
Each object (site, building etc.) can be assigned to an AdvancedUser, who has
the following rights:
• Read-only access
e.g. generate and subscribe to reports, or generate meter lists
• Write access
e.g. set up new buildings and meters, or enter meter data

The SuperUser can set up Partner SuperUser accounts and then allocate these
partners (e.g. external contractors) to specific sites or buildings.
Partner SuperUs-

own users and assign them to sites and/or objects within their "own" part of the
structure.
