Access roles
Once a person has been linked to an organization — meaning their personal account has been linked to an organization account — the organization's administrator must assign the newly linked member an access role. This role defines which parts of the organization account the member can access.
By default, a newly added member has "no access" to the organization account. Only once an access role has been assigned can the member access all, or only specific, items in the organization's menu. This user-specific access control in MyKNX accounts is designed to protect all organization types from misuse.
Organization types
Depending on your organization type — e.g., Training Center, Manufacturer, ETS App Developer, etc. — specific access roles have been created to match the needs of each organization type.
An organization type can be either:
1. None
2. Training Centre
3. Member
4. Manufacturer
5. ETS App Developer*
6. Online Catalog Admin*
7. Scientific partner
8. National Group
9. Test Lab
10. User Club
11. Associated partner
* This type requires the assignment of the 'Manufacturer' type
Please note that an organization can belong to one or several organization types at the same time. For example, a KNX Member can also be a Training Centre and/or an ETS App Developer.
