Users and roles

Flir Assetlink uses a role-based access control (RBAC) system. RBAC is an access management model that gives permissions to users based on predefined roles rather than individual settings. Each role includes a set of privileges that finds what actions a user can perform in the system. Roles can be given at different levels: some roles grant access to the entire organization, while others are limited to specific sites. This structure simplifies user administration, makes sure there is a consistent permission management, and improves overall security.

  • Organization: The company.

  • Workspace: Example of workspace might be regions, countries, cities, etc.

  • Site: A place that exist within the workspace, for example a factory.

  • Asset library: Contains asset that exist within the site.

An Flir Assetlink account is required for the invited person, see section Create an account.
