      Understanding User Roles

      Learn about Cognosos user roles and feature access.

      Regardless of vertical/industry, the User Management module and user roles largely function in the same manner. All users are assigned a login and user role by the Administrator. Availability of RTLS functions and features is based on the user role. The user roles are:

      Guest
      Examples might include vehicle vendors, transport buyers, consigners
      View Only
      Standard User
      Administrator

      Refer to the table below for feature availability based on user role.

      *Availability of some views + functions based on user role

      Any user role may be assigned a status of protected user, which provides a safeguard against accidentally deactivating or deleting a user profile. If you believe that you should have certain functionality available and do not have access to the function or feature, please speak with your company's Cognosos RTLS Administrator.
