Account Management
There are two types of accounts: Installer Admin and Installer. Each company has only one Installer Admin but can have multiple Installers.
- Installer Admin
-
The Installer Admin has full access to the functions in the system. Usually, the Installer Admin can be the manager of the installation company.
- Installer
-
Installers are "sub-accounts" to the Installer Admin and are controlled by permission for what they can do. For example, they can only manage the sites that are assigned to them. Usually, the Installers are the employees in the installation company.
The installation company should first register an Installer Admin account, and then invite the employees to register Installer accounts.
The flow chart of the whole process is shown as follows.
The latter three steps in the flow chart (Set Role and Permission, Invite Employees, and Accept Invitation and Register Installer Accounts) are only supported on the Portal currently. For detailed instructions about these three steps, refer to User Manual of Hik-ProConnect Portal.
