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) | With system access, 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. |
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.
