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 |
System 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. |
Grant Site Access (Supervisor role) | A Supervisor can view and make changes (write permissions), but only within the Sites to which they have been granted access. They can delegate access to others for the Sites they themselves have access to. For Modules, they can access and delegate everything except Billing. |
Site Access (Operator role) | An Operator has view-only access and can only see the Sites and Modules that are specifically enabled for them. They won’t be able to make changes or delegate access. |
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.
