User Management view
The User Management view allows administrators to add or delete users and assign user roles.
User types
The Dryad Site Management app defines two types of users: Standard and Admin. Access to features of the Site Management app is dependent on the type of user role.
Admin user: Admin users are responsible for team organization. Admins can invite new users, edit user information and independently create new sites. Admins also includes Resellers.
Standard user: Standard users have access to the platform, can view the User Management overview and update their name and contact details. They cannot edit other users' details or invite new users.
The following table shows an overview of the roles and rights:
