Each user account is assigned a role that defines the types of operations the user can perform on the appliance. In addition, the Manage role can be further customized by applying an access level and other options. User roles and access levels are described in the following table.</p> <table style="border-spacing: 0px;"><colgroup><col></col><col></col><col></col></colgroup><thead><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1">Role</th> <th colspan="1" rowspan="1"> <p>Access level</p> </th> <th colspan="1" rowspan="1">Description</th> </tr></thead><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"> <p>Monitor</p> </td> <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"> <p>not applicable</p> </td> <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"> <p>A user with this role is only able to view the status of operations, such as jobs, and to run reports.
