--- title: "User Management Setup" source: /gcxone/getting-started/user-management-setup locale: en updated: 2026-09-08 --- ## Overview GCXONE uses a **Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)** system to manage user permissions across the platform. Access is defined through **roles**, **module privileges**, and **entity assignments**. ## Review Default Roles GCXONE provides predefined roles to simplify initial configuration: | Role | Access Level | | --- | --- | | Super Admin | Full platform access — complete control over all modules; users; roles; and settings | | Admin | Administrative access — can manage users; roles; configuration; and reports; but not billing | | Operator | Operational access — can view and manage configuration and reports; but cannot delete or administer users/roles | | Installer | Field technician access — can manage devices; sensors; and network configuration | | User | Read-only access to dashboards; configuration; and reports | These roles can be used directly or customized depending on your operational requirements. ## Create or Modify Roles Navigate to **Settings → Roles → Configure New Role** The role creation wizard walks you through 4 steps: - **Role Info** — Name, description, and optional default role toggle - **Users** — Select which users belong to this role - **Privileges** — Enable or disable access per module (Dashboard, Video Viewer, Alarm Manager, Map, and more) - **Entity Assignment** — Choose which customers, sites, and devices users of this role can access Enable **Include Children** when selecting entities so any new devices or sensors added later are automatically accessible — no manual updates needed. ## Invite Users Navigate to **Settings → Users** and invite users by email. During the invitation process: - A role is assigned to the user - Module privileges are inherited from the assigned role - Entity access is applied based on role configuration After invitation, users receive an email to activate their account. - For further information, visit the[ Roles and Permissions page](/gcxone/platform-fundamentals/roles-and-permissions).
