This role concept is newly introduced in Building X applications in 2022. For existing users of Building X applications, the previous role concept will still be available.

There are predefined roles that are available when you purchase a subscription. In general, offering-specific user roles are divided into the following categories for each offering:

  1. Basic: View entries and settings, edit your own user settings.
  2. Standard: View and edit most entries and settings, edit your own user settings.
  3. Advanced: Edit all settings, create new entries.

To these categories platform roles such as Customer Administrator, Connectivity Engineer or Application Engineer can be added.

Some functions are only available with both a specific user role and Customer Administrator platform role. Platform and user roles can be combined by adding a user to both user groups.

User groups are managed in Accounts (http://www.siemens.com/download?A6V12669212).
