Roles and Access Levels:
Unitrends' self service role-based access control model enables you to restrict a user's access at the appliance, asset, and task level. 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.
