Soracom Lagoon
Users & Permissions
When subscribed to the Lagoon Maker or Pro plans, you can manage additional Lagoon users. Lagoon users are separate from any Soracom Access Management (SAM) users associated with your Soracom account, and can only login to the Soracom Lagoon Console.
There are two types of Lagoon users:
- Editors - These users are allowed to create, edit, and delete resources such as dashboards.
- Viewers - These users are only allowed to view resources such as dashboards.
You can manage Lagoon users in order to give customers or other members of your organization access to your dashboards, without providing access to your Soracom account.
In addition, when subscribed to the Lagoon Maker or Pro plans, you can also customize which users are able to view or edit individual Lagoon dashboards.
Each user can be assigned a role of viewer or editor. The default permissions of each role can be seen below.
