User rights¶
The Visual Flow Creator application user rights are assigned from the Settings application. Once the Visual Flow Creator application is activated, you can grant the permission to read, write or delete access as per the requirements. You can also create additional users with modified permissions in Visual Flow Creator.
Note
- Permissions are defined as an act of authorizing or giving consent to carry out tasks.
- User rights are access permissions that are predefined and given to certain user groups to perform tasks.
- Roles are access permissions which are created and assigned to users.
The user rights depend on the following user roles:
- Administrator
- User
- Viewer
The following table shows the overview of the permissions for different user roles::
| Permission | Role | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Administrator Own flows | Administrator Other flows | User Own flows | User Other flows | Viewer Own flows | Viewer Other flows | |

In the main menu section, click 
to view the dropdown. You will find a section on subtenants in the drop down menu. The subtenants have very limited access. The following rights have been granted to subtenants:
- They can view the assets which belong to them.
- They can view access and create their own flows.
Subtenants do not possess the rights to view the flows and assets of their peers. Menu options are not available for subtenants.
Let us consider, A is a main environment and B and C are subtenants of A. The following points are concluded:
- A, B and C can view the main menu of "Visual Flow Creator".
- Tenant A has the rights to view and access all flows and assets.
- B and C can view their own assets and flows.
- B and C cannot view the assets and flows of each other.
