-Users with '''user''' access can see all measurement data, but they are not able to change settings.
+Beginning with firmware 3.5 roles can be created or deleted (except for '''admin'''). A role may have several permissions. Permissions are categorized in live view, replay view and 4-eyes authorization. For each category there is a list of permissions that are granted by this role. E.g. if only the permission 'pcap' is selected in live view, the role only allows performing capturing in the corresponding view.
-Users with '''capture''' access are also able to start traffic captures.
+Following permissions exist:
-Users with '''replay-user''' access can only view measurement data from replay slots (replay of ring buffer or pcap files). The user cannot see live data.
+* all: All permissions are granted. This contains all other permissions mentioned below.
+* pcap: Captures and Webshark access is permitted.
+* voip: Access to SIP and RTP statistics is permitted.
+* other: Access to everything else.
-Users with '''restart-analysis''' access can also restart already running ring buffer analyses, for example with different start and end time parameters. This is useful if the '''admin''' user wants to select which and when a ring buffer should be analyzed but still letting '''replay-user'''s to restart the analysis in case they want use a smaller time interval for faster/more detailed analysis.
+Following pre defined roles exist:
-Users with '''api-pcap-4-eyes-authorization''' role need an authorization for performing a PCAP from another user with '''admin''', '''capture''' or '''api-pcap-4-eyes-authorization''' role. In the PCAP dialog a dropdown field is displayed where the user needs to select the other user who should grant the capture. The other user will get a popup dialog for granting or denying the PCAP download.
+* '''users''': Users with this role can see all measurement data, but they are not able to change settings.
+* '''capture''': Users with this role are able to start traffic captures.
+* '''replay-user''':  Users can only view measurement data from replay slots (replay of ring buffer or pcap files). The user cannot see live data.
+* '''restart-analysis''': Users can restart already running ring buffer analyses, for example with different start and end time parameters.

+*'''api-pcap-4-eyes-authorization''': This role requires an authorization for performing a PCAP from another user with '''admin''', '''capture''' or '''api-pcap-4-eyes-authorization''' role. In the PCAP dialog a dropdown field is displayed where the user needs to select the other user who should grant the capture. The other user will get a popup dialog for granting or denying the PCAP download.
+*'''api-voip-4-eyes-authorization''': This role requires an authorization for accessing SIP or RTP statistics pages from another user with '''admin''' or '''api-voip-4-eyes-authorization''' role. On the page that requires authorization an indicator is displayed where the user needs to select the other user who should grant access to that page. The other user will get a popup dialog for granting or denying the access.
