Axeda Service Application privileges

The following table lists all the privileges associated with the Axeda® Service application and explains what granting the privilege enables the user to do and what element (s) of the user interface is (are) affected by the privilege. If other privileges are required for any activity in addition to the one described, they are listed under "Other Requirements or Considerations."

Note that users need the Service - View privilege for any of the other privileges to work. Otherwise, they cannot even see the Service tab when they log in. Some of the privileges listed here also control access to a related feature in the Axeda® Configuration application. For example, the Contact - Add privilege applies to both the Configuration and Service applications.

For privileges for scripting, refer to the Scripting Privileges table. Scripting privileges overlap the Service and Configuration applications.

For Web services privileges, refer to Web Services privileges.
