A checkbox enables you to specify whether the new user should have default permissions. For more information on permissions, please refer to the dedicated articles in the Permissions (Metrics Rights) section.

Note : It is not possible to add a user with the same email address as an existing user.

By default, the role assigned to the new user is set to Reader. It allows access to the io-base portal with read rights.

The possible roles are as follows :

  • Writer : necessary to have writing rights in the Indaba database.

Note : the Writer and Reader roles alone are not sufficient to view the metrics values or add data. They must be completed by the Permissions set on the metrics.

Once you have entered all the information about the new user, click on Add user to confirm.
