    • Dashboard Guest: Grants the user read only access to the Dashboard and all installed products.

  • Product Roles

    • Product Guest: Grants the user read only access to the installed products. This role has no administrative functions.
    • Product User: Allows the user read and modify access to the installed products and limited administrative functions.

Users must be existing Active Directory users. Newly-added users must use their Windows user account and password to log in to any IDERA products.
