    Organize Roles Within Tulip

    Tulip has several ways to manage roles between users and direct certain functionalities to specific accounts on an instance or a particular application.

    Your Tulip Instance comes with default user roles. Enterprise or above plans can also create Custom User Roles.

    Designate User Roles

    When determining who has what level of authority in applications, it’s important to understand what the different levels of access are. A Tulip instance has an unlimited number of users who can access it. With this capability, you want to restrict users to have only the highest level of access needed to complete their tasks.

    There are three main categories of access in Tulip:

    User

    Users can access both Tulip and the Tulip Player. Capabilities include building and managing apps as well as running them in the Player. They include roles such as Account Owners, Administrators, Application Engineers, Tulip Table Supervisors, Connector Supervisors, and Station Supervisors.

    Viewer

    Viewers can only view assets in Tulip. This means they have access to Tulip apps through the App Editor, but cannot run them through the Player. Their roles include Viewers, Station Operators, and Application Approvers.

    Operator

    Operators can only access the Tulip Player. They strictly run apps through the Tulip Player and cannot access the App Editor or other pages regarding machine and connector information. Their roles include Viewers with Player Access and Operators.
