Understanding Clarity Dashboard User Roles and Permissions

When adding a user to the organization, the Org Admin can assign different roles to a user. These roles are the following:

Org Admin: Org Admins manage the organization and its resources. 
  • Each org can have multiple Org Admins. Clarity will assign the first Org Admin who can then add other users to their Org. 
  • Org Admins can view air quality measurements and device status, configure devices, edit datasource metadata (name, group and tags), give applications access to your data via API, manage users and edit organization information.
  • To see how to add, edit, or remove users as the Org Admin, please check out this Article: How to manager your organization's users

Technician: Technicians deploy devices to the field and keep them operational over time. 
  • We recommend assigning this role to a user that will need to deploy Clarity Nodes and Modules and update device geolocation when devices are moved.
  • Technicians can view air quality measurements and device status, configure devices, and edit datasource metadata.

Analyst: Analysts inspect air quality measurements to find patterns and answer environmental questions.

  • We recommend assigning this role to users that are tasked with data analysis but are not involved with deployment of devices in the field.
  • Analysts can view air quality measurements and device status and edit datasource metadata (name, group and tags).
Observer: Observers have the same visibility of analysts, but cannot edit any information on Dashboard. 
  • We recommend assigning this role to users that are tasked with data analysis but are not supposed to modify datasource name, group and tags.
  • Observers can view air quality measurements and device status.

Guest: Guests can only view air quality measurements assigned to them by the Org Admin.
