User Roles

The Setup interface supports three basic roles for users: company administrator, view-only administrator, and individual user. Each role has access to the Setup left navigation panel and user interface, but with different permissions for using the application:

• Company administrator — this user has full administrative rights to add users, configure risk, create exchange connections and FIX sessions, etc.

• Individual user — these users are traders, brokers, etc., who belong to or are shared with your company.
