About Role-Based User Management
Information Security Analytics (ISA) uses role-based user management. On installation, the system creates one default user, the ISA administrator. When new users are added to the system they can be assigned the administrator role. The administrator role has access to all of the screens of the ISA interface and can perform all Actions. There is also the concept of the "Owner" permission that applies to Projects, and Data Groups.
For more information about roles and access to resources, see Access Controls.
