Software Management Application privileges

The following table lists all the privileges associated with the Axeda® Software Management 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 the privilege, Software - View is required for all of the other privileges to work. For example, If users need to deploy packages, they need the Software - View privilege in addition to the Software - Deploy privilege. (They also need the Service - View privilege if they need to deploy packages from the Axeda® Service application. Refer to Service Application privileges for details on the related Service application privileges.)
