Understanding Permission Levels in MyAccount

Details

The Security Profile Owner (SPO) is the sole account owner of your Security Solutions account. The SPO has authorization to elect several Security Profile Administrators (SPA). The SPO can delegate user management to the SPA by assigning Master Control. The SPO, and SPAs with the correct permission level, may add, edit, or remove Security Users in MyAccount. Security Users that you authorize on your Security Solutions account have permissions to manage your security system.

The description of the four primary permission levels are outlined in the table below.

Master Control and Full Control are the most frequently assigned user permission levels.

Permission Levels

Master Control is the top permission level and includes the following functions:

  • Add, remove, or change SPAs and all MyAccount users
