Explore Permissions

To access dashboards and APIs, you must be assigned a role with applicable permissions, which are defined by a system administrator. Permissions are pre-assigned to roles that are based on functional areas, such as project management, construction management, field office, operations, finance, compliance, and administration that let you run reports tagged with the same permission assigned to one of the roles. For more details, refer to Roles and Permissions in InEight Platform. Permissions are configured in Suite Administration > Roles and permissions > Permissions > Explore.
