My Permissions

The Roles and Permissions card on your Profile page shows exactly what you are allowed to see and do in OpSee.

Roles and permissions card on the profile page

What the Card Shows​

The card has two sections, matching the two things that decide your access:

SectionShowsControls
RolesYour business roles (role:Operator, role:Supervisor, …) and any individual permissionsWhich pages and actions you can use
Equipment accessYour equipment scopeWhich equipment's data you see

Roles​

A business role packages the permissions for a job function — role:Operator, role:Supervisor, role:Technician, role:Quality, role:Planner, role:Viewer (read-only) or role:Admin. Holding a role grants every permission inside it.

Individual permissions are named perm:{area}:{action} — for example perm:oee:read (view OEE) or perm:production-orders:write (edit production orders). You normally never hold these one by one; your business role bundles the right ones. An administrator can grant a single extra permission for a one-off need.

Menu visibility follows your permissions automatically. If you hold the permission a page requires, that page appears in your sidebar. There is no separate menu role to assign.

Equipment Access​

The Equipment access section shows which parts of the plant you can see. Equipment scope follows a hierarchy that mirrors your plant structure, and a grant automatically covers everything beneath it:

Role exampleWhat you see
All equipmentEvery equipment node, including any added later
equipment:company-aAll equipment under company-a
equipment:company-a:antwerpOnly the Antwerp site
equipment:company-a:antwerp:line-2Only Line 2 at Antwerp
(nothing listed)No equipment data

Permissions and equipment scope are independent. Holding perm:oee:read lets you open the OEE pages; your equipment scope decides whose OEE data appears on them. If the section is empty, production pages load but stay empty.

Administrators​

An administrator holds the role:Admin business role, which contains every permission in the catalog plus the all-equipment wildcard. There is no separate "admin switch" — an admin simply holds everything, and is subject to exactly the same checks as everyone else.

What if My Access is Wrong?​

If you cannot see a page or equipment you should have access to:

  1. Check the Roles and Permissions card and note what is listed.
  2. Missing a page? You lack the permission that page requires. Ask your administrator to assign a role — or the specific permission — that grants it.
  3. Page loads but shows no data? Your equipment scope is empty or does not cover the equipment you expect. Ask for the relevant equipment:* grant.
  4. Can view but not edit? Viewing and editing are separate permissions (perm:oee:read versus perm:oee:write). Ask for the one that includes editing.
  5. Role was just changed and nothing happened? Sign out and back in — your permissions are carried in a token issued at sign-in.

Roles are Read-Only​

You cannot self-assign roles. Only administrators can modify them via Administration → Access Control. If you need access to a module, contact your plant administrator.
