Enhanced Permissions allow users to view or edit monitors based on access groups assigned to them, rather than relying solely on their account role.
With Enhanced Permissions enabled, access to monitors is controlled at the group level. Administrators can also allow Co-Administrators to manage Enhanced Permissions settings.
| Note: |
Only Admin and Co-Admin users can enable or manage Enhanced Permissions. |
Access Control Rules
When Enhanced Permissions are enabled:
-
Enhanced Permissions do not grant global administrator privileges.
-
Users must be assigned to at least one access group with Edit permission to modify monitors.
Monitor-Level Access
-
Users can view or edit only the monitors assigned to their access group.
-
Monitor create, update, and delete operations via API are allowed only for monitors the user has Edit access to.
