Users¶
Overview¶
The Users page is where the administrator creates and manages user accounts, assigns roles, and configures each user's default view. Only users with the Admin role can access this page.
User roles determine which parts of the application a user can access. This prevents lower-privileged users from accessing sensitive configuration areas such as gateway settings.
Tip
Throughout this user guide, each page shows role tags at the bottom indicating which roles have access to it. The search bar also supports filtering by role name, making it easy to find all pages accessible to a specific role.
User Roles¶
Savee has six user roles with different levels of access:
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Admin | Full access to all pages including Settings and user management. |
| Service | Full access identical to Admin, except cannot manage users. Intended for installation and maintenance technicians. |
| Power User | Access to all operational and monitoring pages, but not Settings or user management. |
| Plus User | Access to device control and groups, but no access to configuration, automations, gateways, or statistics. |
| User | Basic access to device control and groups only. |
| Kiosk | Restricted to Button Panels and Layouts only. Intended for tablets and fixed display screens. |

Managing Users¶
The Users page lists all existing accounts. Each entry shows the user's name, username, and assigned role. The following actions are available via the user detail view or context menu:
- Create user — Add a new login with a chosen role and default view.
- Edit user — Change a user's name, username, password, role, default view, or contact details.
- Delete user — Permanently remove a user account.
Contact Details¶
Each user can have a phone number and email address attached to their account. These are used by the reporting system to notify the user when relevant events or alerts occur.
Default View¶
Each user can be assigned a default page that loads immediately after login. This can be set to a specific floor plan in the Layouts page or a specific button panel, allowing each user to land directly on the view most relevant to their work.
