Operators in Space

Overview

There are two types of operators in Salto Space: admin operators and non-admin or standard operators. The admin operator has full access to all of the menus and functionality within Space. Meanwhile, standard operators that you can create, can have their access restricted to a subset of menus and functionality, depending on the permissions you set for their operator group.

The admin operator, as well as the Administrator operator group, is created on the system by default during installation.

While there are no limitations on the number of operators that can be added, the fewer admin operators you create, the more secure the Space system and your installation will be.

See Operator settings, Admin interface and Operator groups for more information.
