Managing Users

cnMaestro allows you to add Users using the Administration > Users page. A maximum of ten users are currently allowed in the system.

Figure 1  Adding Users

Role-Based Access

Each user is assigned a Role that defines their authorization. On successful authentication, every request from this user is processed in light of their Role.

cnMaestro supports the following user Roles:

Super Administrator – Super Administrators can perform all operations.
Administrator – Administrators can modify cnMaestro application functionality, but they are not able to edit User, API, or Server configuration.
Operator – Operators are able to configure device-specific parameters and view all configuration.
Monitor - Monitors have only the view access.
CPI - CPI can perform on-boarding the devices using the CBRS tool and has the view access only.

NOTE:  

cnMaestro allows one to limit the number of concurrent sessions for each Role and display current active user sessions.
CPI role is authorized only when the CBRS is Enabled.
