Roles and permissions

Clear responsibilities for everyone involved

Access per pool

Show people only the pools they work on

Each User and Viewer sees only the pools your Company Admin gives them. This suits teams split by region, or a contractor who works on one POP. Company Admins see every pool in the company.

  • Set access when you invite someone
  • Change it at any time
  • Someone given no pools sees none
  • Applies to searches and release requests as well

Beyond your team

Other people and companies in the picture

Your company

Your company has its own separate space for its pools, records, team and invoices. Other companies using the platform cannot see them.

Your ISP's customers

They do not sign in. They are records your team keeps in the portal, linked to circuits and addresses.

The Helpnyx team

In the portal this role is called Lord. It sets up approved companies and manages the platform, billing and support. Support sessions into a company are time-limited and recorded.
