Manage users
As an administrator, you can use the Admin panel to manage users.
User types and roles
- Users
Users are the basic type. They can fully use Datalore functionality. Based on admin-related rights, there are three user roles:
REGULAR: regular user, can be used to demote the user from the ADMIN role.
ADMIN: admin user with access to the Admin panel.
SUPER_ADMIN: admin user who can also change other users' roles via the Admin panel, the first registered user.
- Viewers
Viewers are a special type of users who can only view notebooks and reports shared with them by other Datalore users. Viewers cannot create their own notebooks or publish reports. You can register as many viewers as other users permitted by the acquired license. For example, if you're allowed to register 10 regular users, you can, in addition, register up yo 10 viewers.
