Roles and Zones

Define what a user can do and which plants they can operate on

The Roles and Zones page controls access and permissions:

  • a Role defines what a user can do (features and permissions)
  • a Zone defines which plants the user can work on

Each user has:

  • 1 Role
  • 1 or more Zones
In short: Role = actions, Zone = scope (plants).

Page overview

The screen is split into two columns:

  • Roles (left): list of configured roles and their assigned features
  • Zones (right): list of zones and their associated plants

At the top of both columns you will find:

  • an Add button
  • filters and search (depending on the list)

Roles

A Role is a set of features that can be enabled/disabled for a user.

What you see in the Roles list

Each role is displayed as a card with:

  • Role name and description
  • Delete button (if allowed)
  • an expandable area showing Assigned features (count and list)

Features typically include (examples):

  • Commands
  • Levels And Zones
  • Trends
  • Events
The exact list depends on your version and enabled modules.

Filters and search (Roles)

You can use:

  • Feature filter: show only roles that include a specific feature
  • Role search: “Filter roles…” field

Create a new role

Click Add in the Roles column.

A Create new role dialog opens with:

  • Name (required)
  • Description (required)
  • Start page: the page shown after login (e.g. Home, Trend, Events)
  • Assigned features: selectable feature list
Ensure the start page is accessible based on the role's assigned features.

Feature selection

Inside Assigned features you will find:

  • a checkbox to enable/disable the feature
  • a small description of the feature
  • Write switch: appears only for features that support write operations. When enabled, the user can perform actions/changes on that feature
  • Gear icon: appears only for features with advanced options (e.g. Command Level). Click to open a popover with additional settings

You also have quick actions:

  • Select All: select all filtered features
  • Deselect All: clear the selection

Not all features have Write or advanced options. If you don't see a Write switch or gear icon, that feature does not support those capabilities.

Click Create to save.

Edit a role

Click on a role card to open the window Edit Role.

You can update:

  • name and description
  • start page
  • enabled features and their Write permission
  • advanced options (when available)

Advanced options: Command Level

For the Commands feature, an advanced option is available via the gear icon:

  • Command Level: a numeric input field to set the maximum command level

This value determines which commands the user is allowed to execute.

Rule: the user can execute only commands with a level less than or equal to the role level.

Example:

  • Role with Command Level = 50 → can execute commands with level 1…50
  • commands with level > 50 will not be executable
Command Level does not replace Read/Write permissions: it is an additional protection specifically for commands.

Delete a role

Use Delete on the role card.

If a role is already assigned to one or more users, the system may prevent deletion to avoid configuration issues. In that case, reassign users to another role first.

Zones

A Zone is a set of plants.
Zones define where a user can operate and which plants they can see.

What you see in the Zones list

Each zone is displayed as a card with:

  • Name and description
  • Delete button (if allowed)
  • an expandable area showing Associated plants (count and list)
It is common to have an “All” zone that includes all configured plants. The “All” zone is useful for admin users or users who must operate on the full scope. For operational users, smaller zones are usually safer and easier to manage.

Filters and search (Zones)

You can use:

  • filters available in the UI (e.g. Filter by country, Filter by plant)
  • “Filter zone…” search field

Create a new zone

Click Add in the Zones column.

A Create new zone dialog opens with:

  • Name (required)
  • Description (required)
  • Associated plants: selectable plant list

Plant selection

In Associated plants you can:

  • filter by country
  • filter by plant type (e.g. Photovoltaic, Wind)
  • filter by plant name
  • select individual plants using checkboxes

Each plant shows:

  • Name and location (state/region)
  • Type icon indicating the plant type (sun for photovoltaic, wind for wind power, etc.)
  • Copy ID button to copy the plant ID to clipboard

You also have quick actions:

  • Select All: select all filtered plants
  • Deselect All: clear the selection
  • Select All Photovoltaic: select only photovoltaic plants
  • Select All Wind Power: select only wind power plants

Click Create to save.

Edit a zone

Click on a zone card to open the window Edit Zone.

You can:

  • change name and description
  • add/remove associated plants
  • use filters and quick actions to speed up selection

Click Save to apply changes.

Best practices

  • Separate “what” from “where”: avoid creating “per-plant roles”. Use zones instead.
  • Few roles, many zones: it’s often easier to maintain 5 roles and 30 zones than the opposite.
  • Grant Write only when needed.
  • Restrict Commands:
    • enable Commands only for users who must operate remotely
    • set a Command Level aligned with responsibility
  • Smaller zones for operators: reduces mistakes and simplifies audits.
