User Roles

There are three user roles available in Toad Intelligence Central: Standard user, Power user, and Administrator. During installation of the Toad Intelligence Central server, the Toad Intelligence Central Administrator (root) user account is created. This account has access to all administrative privileges.

The root Administrator account (or any account with the Administrator role) can grant/edit the role for another user account. This can be done when creating a new account or when editing an existing account. See Users and Groups and Manage Users and Groups for more information.

Review the following role descriptions.

  • Administrator—Users with an Administrator role are granted all privileges in the administration of users, groups and objects. They are also granted some server and licensing privileges. The role of the Administrator (root user) cannot be changed.
  • Power User—Power users have all the privileges of the Standard user. In addition, Power users can force consumers to take a shared object that is published or managed by the Power user.
  • Standard User—All new users are granted the Standard role, by default.

Privileges by Role

Review the following privileges for each role. In particular, all actions performed through the Administration | Server section of the Web Console are available only to users with the Administrator role.

Privileges Based on User-Object Relationship

Email Notifications

Intelligence Central can send activity reports and error alerts to users for objects they own or manage. A user with the Administrator role can receive an additional report—the Daily or Weekly Digest—that summarizes activities relevant to the Administrator role.

How to Configure Notifications

Email notifications can be enabled or configured on three different levels.

  • Server Level—You can enable email service for the server and configure server email settings. Only users with the Administrator role can perform this configuration. See Server Email Notification Settings.
  • User Level—You can subscribe individual users to the email notification service. Only users with the Administrator role can perform this configuration. See Server Email Notification Settings.
  • Email Notification Level—You can select which email notifications each individual user receives. Users with the Administrator role can configure email notifications for other users. Each user can edit their own profile. See Specify User Email Subscriptions.

Types of Email Notifications

There are four types of email notifications.

  • Personal Digest—Provides a summary of activity for the objects a user owns or manages.
  • Error Alerts—Sent when an error occurs during script execution or snapshot refresh for objects a user owns or manages. Also available to Administrators.
  • Daily Admin Digest—Provides a daily summary of activities relevant to the Administrator role. Available to Administrators only.
  • Weekly Admin Digest—Provides a weekly summary of activities relevant to the Administrator role. Available to Administrators only.
