Understanding Users
In IoT Platform , a user has some specific characteristics.
• The level on which users are created determines their level of access. Because access is based on hierarchy, users that are defined on a certain level, automatically have access to all sub-tenants and applications.
This involves specifying the Applications to which each user is allowed access and the permissions they have for accessing these Applications, such as read-only or editing privileges.
• An Application can belong to multiple users.
• Each Device belongs to a specific Application.
Uniqueness
Each user is uniquely identified by their email address. A user with the same email can belong to multiple Applications and is considered a different user for each, meaning that this user has his/her own password, Client ID/Client Secret, mobile phone number and so on. The information shown in the IoT Platform Portal relates to this user/email address as two different users.
