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.
