Users in Netmaker Professional¶
Netmaker Professional offers advanced user management features. The super admin can create users with either a user or admin role. Only Admins can access the dashboard, the normal users can use remote access client to join the network through a gateway. Admins can add users and assign them to remote access gateways, which includes managing the user’s access to different remote access gateways.
Here is a breakdown of the different user types and their permissions:
User: Users do not have access to the Netmaker dashboard. They can only use the remote access client to connect to a gateway.
Admin: They can create and manage users, networks, and gateways. They cannot create/manage other admins
Super Admin: Super admins have full access to Netmaker. They can create and manage users, admins, networks, and gateways. They can also manage user and admin permissions.
