Roles
A role is a set of permissions for actions available within RSLog (e.g. creating a project, generating a borehole log, etc). A Role is assigned to one or many users. Typically, your company RSLog administrator (i.e. the admin user) is the person who oversees user management.

Go to the left-hand navigation menu and select Account > User Management > Roles.
Default and System Roles
By default, your RSLog account comes with the following Roles:
- Admin Role: has the highest level of permissions. This is the only Role that can add or delete users to your RSLog company account.
- Engineer Role: has all the permissions of ‘Admin’ role, except user management permissions (i.e. cannot access the Roles and User Management pages).
- Viewer Role: can see all pages that Engineer Role can, but is unable to edit or delete any records.
Please note Admin and Viewer roles are System roles and cannot be edited. However, you can edit permissions of the default Engineer role and add new roles if necessary.
For each RSLog user that you purchase, you will also receive one Viewer user free of charge. Viewer users are suitable for managers, external consultants, and contractors whose use of RSLog is limited to viewing data and generating reports. You can add Viewer users on the Users page.
Adding a Role
To add a Role:
- Click + New button from the toolbar on top of the table.
- Enter the Role Name.
- Select / unselect checkboxes to set the permissions as you wish.
- Click Save. This role should now appear on the list of roles in the table.
Selecting the ‘Is Default Role’ checkbox, makes that role the default role for any new user that is added to your RSLog account.
Editing a Role
To edit a Role, click on Edit button that appears at the right end of that row. A page will appear with the permissions of the selected Role. Make necessary changes and click Save.
