User Roles in Wave Embedded
Wave Embedded has two user roles: Designer and Standard User, each with distinct access and permissions.
Role Overview
Designer – Create Grids, Configure Grids, and Manage Settings.
Standard User – Can access and interact with grids assigned by Designers.
Role Assignment in Production
Upon installation, the first System Administrator automatically receives the Designer role.
Any additional System Administrators are automatically assigned the Standard User role upon accessing the Wave Dashboard, Grid Wizard, or Surf the Wave.
Role Assignment in Sandbox
Any System Administrators who install the package are automatically assigned the Designer role.
Note: Only a System Administrator can manually assign themselves or other users as Designer or Standard User within Wave Embedded.
This setup ensures proper access control while maintaining flexibility for administrators to manage roles effectively. 🚀
