Changing the role of a dataminer.services user

Each user that has been added in the Admin app can have the role Member, Admin, or Owner, and this both on the level of the organization and of the DataMiner System. This role determines which permissions the user has on dataminer.services. Several users can have the Admin or Owner role, and users can have a different role on organization and DMS level.

• The Owner role has the most permissions, and there is always at least one owner per organization. When a DataMiner System is connected to dataminer.services and a new organization is created containing that DataMiner System, the person creating it is automatically considered to be its owner and given the Owner role.

• On organizational level, the Admin role is not allowed to delete organizations. On DMS level, they cannot request a token to keep a DMS connected to dataminer.services in case the connection has expired. Aside from that, they have all the permissions the Owner role has.

• On organizational level, the Member role is only allowed to view users and connect a DMS to dataminer.services. On DMS level, they can share data, view users, view information about the dataminer.services configuration, deployments and shares, and unlink their own DataMiner account.

If you have the Owner or Admin role, you can change the role of a user as follows:

1. Open the Admin app.

2. Check whether the correct organization is mentioned in the header bar.
