add
Adds a role to a registered user.
- An Administrator has full access to all devices and operations within the tenant, including the permission to add or delete other users. The Administrator role is assigned by default to the user who creates the tenant.
- A Contributor can add devices and create and change deployments. Software and hardware developers who create applications, manage connected devices, and update deployments, but are not responsible for managing tenant access, should have the Contributor role.
- A Reader has access to information about the tenant, including the claimed devices, deployments, and, when available, any error reporting data from the devices. This role is appropriate for maintenance and operations personnel who are responsible for tracking connected device performance at end-user installations.
