- Prod/Dev: The type of site, which can be PRODUCTIVE or TEST
- The Address, for information purpose only
- The coordinates of the site, that will be used on the dashboard map.
- The last known IP of the site is shown, but cannot be changed.
Floor Plan: In this tab a floor plan can be selected an uploaded. It has to be an image (jpg/png)
Gateways: In this tab is where the site template and system config template is assigned to a site. They can be selected from a drop down menu that shows all the available templates for the organization. It also shows the information about the platform used, the serial configured and the software versions.
Views: Shows a list of all the views that can be used for this site, with a direct link to them.
Remote Calls: If the site has any configured remote call (on the System template) it will be shown here.

User Management

The User Management page allows the Administrator to create, delete and edit all users of the system. It can be reached in Organization → Users.

The page shows all the user, along with their basic information. The E Mail is what is used as username.

Users Roles

Users can have different roles. These are:

Admin: For users with administrators rights. Are allowed to edit the sites, the templates, add/delete users, etc.
Operator: For basic users with no configuration rights. They can see all the information and execute actions, but cannot change anyconfiguration
None: No right to access the server. This are used for users that are only going to receive notifications or for gateways that are going to send data.

Only an Administrator can change the role of a user, but it can be done at any moment.

Services

Users can have enabled two different services:

Gateway: Users that are used in a SiteController to authenticate when connecting to the server must have this role.
API: For users that are going to connect to the external API (see External API)

Creating and editing a user

To create a new user click the +Add button. To edit a user, click the Edit button. In both cases the user edition page is shown. Each user has different options in different tabs:

Personal, where the user personal data,such as phone, name, id, etc. is set. For a new user a password has to be set. For existing users the password can be changed using the "Reset Password" option. Here the users can be deleted with the Delete button. They can also be deactivated, which means that the user will still be in the system but without being able to access the system.
Notifications, where the user specific notifications settings are configured (see Notifications)
Settings, where the user can language can be selected, enable/disable the sounds and popup notifications, and the timeout. To disable the timeout set it to -1.

Setting the timeout -1 means that the session will never be closed by the system. If a user closes it's browser and opens it again, the session will still be open and the system accessible with the last user privileges. This can be a security risk under certain scenarios.
Access & Services, to set certain additional privileges to the users, such as Gateway (the username can be used in the gateways for connection) or API (the username can be used by third party software to access the external API)
