Managing users

After creating a project, you need to assign at least one admin user to help manage it. You can also add admin users to a project or remove them from a project later. After using the console to add the first admin user, you can add additional admin users with the Amazon Monitron mobile app.

Important

Amazon Monitron requires an email address for each app user. If you use directories like Microsoft Active Directory or an external ID provider, you need to make sure that email addresses for your users are added and synced.

After creating a project or site, you need to add users to them. As an admin user, you can add users to three different roles: Admin, Technician, or Viewer. A user's role determines what they can do with Amazon Monitron. The extent of their role permissions is determined by whether they are added at the project level or at the site level. Setting a user's role at the project level gives the user permissions across all sites in that project. Setting a user's role at the site level gives the user permissions only to that site.
