iMonnit Account Hierarchy

iMonnit Account Hierarchy

The iMonnit software implements an account hierarchy by which top level accounts can create, manage, and access accounts, users, devices, networks, and subaccounts (including nested accounts). Understanding this hierarchy can be important in managing a successful implementation. This is especially the case when you have subaccounts and nested accounts to manage. The diagram provided in this article provides a visual description of account hierarchy in the iMonnit software.

Things to note

There are a few details which ere left off the diagram in the spirit of simplification:

• Additional Users, Sensor Networks, Gateways, and Sensors can be added to all account types, though they are not pictured in the diagram. This includes the Super Admin Top Level account, Reseller accounts, Nested Reseller accounts, and Nested Subaccounts.
• There are two components related to Reseller accounts:

1. The Reseller permission flag under the account’s settings. (When the permission is enabled, there is an additional tab under the subaccount’s User Permissions called “Reseller”. These permissions can be modified by the subaccount’s Administrator (and any Administrator users in top level accounts).
2. There are two user permissions under the Reseller tab which will allow a user to view the “Admin” section of the account:

• View Administration
• View Subaccounts

Conclusion

Especially when operating with users that require a nested account structure, understanding the account hierarchy is critical in a successful implementation. If you have related inquiries, feel free to contact support@monnit.com.
