Overview of user roles in the noise portal: Which role to pick for a new user?

The following overview can help you decide which role a new user should have in the portal, based on which pages and capabilities are available to each role. The list is ordered from top to bottom, starting with the most capable role first.

Role name	Role description	Pages	Capabilities
Administrator	Administrators can create, edit and delete groups and measurement points. They can invite new users and remove user accounts. They have the most complete set of pages and all capabilities. Administrators can become Portal Supervisors, meaning they become the first contact person within their organization for questions regarding the portal.

User	Users operate under the supervision of administrators and can view measurement data, and optionally, the status of measurement points but may not change settings. They have a more limited set of pages and capabilities. Access to measurement data might be restricted based on which groups they are a member of and whether these groups are limited to a specific time period set by an Administrator.
