Role

Definition

vw-admin

Provides full access to the IPM user interface, including tasks on the Settings tab.

vw-user

Provides access to the IPM UI, excluding access to tasks on the Settings tab. All individual reports must be shared with the vw-user role user by an administrator.

vw-readonly

Provides the same access to the IPM user interface as the vw-user role, but with read-only access. A user assigned the vw-readonly role can view and interact with a topology, but cannot create a report or chart. If a report was shared with them, they are able to view it but not modify it.
