Introduction
Changing a user role in Farsight® is a simple process. Organization Admins can easily change any user's role and permissions in Farsight®. Supervisors are limited to managing the roles and permissions of Operators only, and cannot modify Admins.

Input | Definition |
Admin Access (Admin role) | An Admin has full access across your entire organization in Farsight®. They can view and manage all Sites and Modules, invite new users, onboard new power plants, and even access billing details. |
Supervisor role | A Supervisor can view and make changes (write permissions). For Modules, they can access and delegate everything except Billing. Sites and SPVs access is still delegated to them in the Site and SPVs tabs |
Site Access (Operator role) | An Operator only has access to the Sites and Modules that are specifically enabled for them. They won’t be able to make changes unless you give them Edit permission. |
Note: Operators and Supervisors only get access to sites explicitly added to them. Any pre-existing or newly added sites must be granted to them manually.
