User Roles
An IBM Aspera Faspex On Demand (FOD) user's permissions are defined by its specific user settings and its user role. Admins assign user roles to an account when creating a new account or when configuring an account's permissions. For more information on configuring an accounts permissions, see Configure User Settings.
Faspex supports the following three user roles:- Admin
- Manager
- User
- Workgroup Admin
User
All users can send packages through Faspex. Normal users typically do not manage other users or workgroups.
Manager
The manager role gives a user permissions to manage other Faspex accounts. Managers can create, edit, or delete workgroups and regular users. However, they cannot create new managers, edit admin accounts, or promote another user to admin or manager roles. Managers do not have access to the Server tab, nor can they change the Faspex server configuration (a privilege limited to admins).
Admin
Admins can configure Faspex from the Server tab. They can create, edit, and delete every type of Faspex user (admins, managers, and regular users) as well as create, edit, or delete workgroups.
