This article introduces how to configure users and roles on the Omada Controller.

Requirements

  • Omada Software Controller (v5.8 and above) / Cloud-Based Controller / Hardware Controller

Introduction

By configuring users and roles on the Omada Controller, you can assign specific access and operational rights to different accounts, thereby improving the security of the Controller system.

There are three roles: Main Administrator, Administrator, and Viewer.

  • Main Administrator

The Main Administrator can access all features in the corresponding View. The Account that first creates the Controller will be the Main Administrator.

  • Administrator

Administrators can access most features in the corresponding View, but some modules are restricted. For instance, they do not have permission to perform Controller migrations or automatic data backups, and they have view-only access to license management and custom account roles.

  • Viewer

Viewers can view the status and settings of certain features in the corresponding View.

You can view the detailed permissions of each role in Global View> Account > Role. There are four permission levels: Modify, View Only, Access, and Block.

  • Modify: Users can access all data and use all features of the specified modules.

Note: Some functions, such as MSP Mode, automatic activation, and renewal of licenses, can only be accessed and used by the Main Administrator

  • View Only: Users have view-only access to the specified modules and cannot use any features.
  • Access: Users can access and use some features of the specified modules.
  • Block: Users are blocked from accessing the specified pages and features.

The default roles provided by Omada Controller are Main Administrator, Administrator, and Viewer, and you can confirm the scope of permissions for each role by clicking on the View icon on the Account> Role page of the Global View.

The four common permission levels for Omada Controller are Modify, View Only, Access, and Block.
