Which devices a User sees ​

A User sees:

  • the devices and gateways they added themselves, and
  • the ones an Admin has assigned to them. See User Device Mapping.

Which devices a Viewer sees ​

A Viewer sees the devices of the person who invited them, read-only. When a User invites a Viewer, the Viewer sees that User's devices.
