User Roles and Permissions

---

There are three roles with different levels of access in Calibre:

• Administrator: can manage the organisation, all monitoring settings, add Sites, run tests and use the full capabilities of the API for all Teams.
• User: can manage all monitoring settings, add Sites, run tests and use the full capabilities of the API for the Team(s) they are a member of.
• Viewer: can view monitoring data, run tests and use the API to retrieve performance metrics for the Team(s) they are a member of.

In short, administrators are people who have full control over your organisation in Calibre. Users are contributors who control what gets monitored and how. Viewers have read-only access, so they are people who need to be able to view, but not change performance monitoring data available in your account.
