User Account
You can use different user account to log in to the Omada Controller. User has three
roles: administrator, operator and observer. The administration authority varies among
different roles.
Administrator

The first administrator account is created in the Basic Configuration process
and this account can not be deleted. An administrator can change the settings
of the EAP network and create and delete user accounts.

Operator

An operator account can be created or deleted by the administrator. The
operator can change the settings of the EAP network.

An observer account can be created or deleted by the administrator. The
observer can only view the status and settings of the EAP network but not
change the settings.
