Instance Administrator Roles and License Types
By default, there are 10 role types that can be chosen for a user. Administrators may choose to delete or even add to these roles. The license type is automatically set based on the role chosen.
If a user is assigned a role that results in a greater license type than what they had before, then the license type will be updated to the role's license type. If a user is not assigned to a role or a License Group, their license type defaults to Viewer.
Only roles with a resulting Author license type can log into Blueprint and the Admin Portal.
If a user has a role with a resulting Collaborate or Viewer license type, they would need to be assigned to a Group with an Author Project Role in order to access Blueprint and the Administration Portal.
The following are the different roles, their description, and resulting license type:
Name | Description | Resulting License Type |
