# `User Access Levels

There are four different Access Levels on an In-Sight vision system: Full, Elevated, Protected, and Locked.

- Full: Users with Full access have complete access to the In-Sight vision system. Full users are typically developing the vision job A job is a user-configured program in In-Sight 3D EasyBuilder consisting of functions and designed for specific applications. You can create and edit jobs using the In-Sight 3D EasyBuilder interface, and load them on a vision system for deployment in a live environment. that runs on the vision system. Full users have the ability to connect to a vision system, run and use the adapter of the vision system, and can manage users, access levels and passwords.

- Elevated: Users with Elevated access have the ability to connect to a vision system, but cannot use certain key utilities to which only Full users have access. Elevated users are typically engineers whose tasks include configuring vision systems and developing vision jobs. Elevated users cannot modify users and access levels, enable vision system auditing, or change the state of the vision system through utilities such as Factory Reset or Licensing.

  Note: Full and Elevated users can make online backups and job saves. Acquisition Acquisition is the process or result of the vision system acquiring a new image. might be slower while saving.

- Protected: Users with Protected access are in a restricted mode with limited access to functionality. Protected users cannot press the Connect button in the software to connect to a vision system, and protected users cannot launch the adapter of the vision system to modify a job.

- Locked: Users with Locked access have the most restrictive access level. They cannot press the Connect button in the software to connect to a vision system, and locked users cannot launch the adapter of the vision system to modify a job.

Note: When you log in, you can disconnect other connected users with the same or lower Access Levels from the vision system in In-Sight Vision Suite and WebHMI The operator interface through which the operator interacts with the vision system.. This feature ensures that you can regain access to the vision system without requiring a device restart when another user forgets to log out. You can prevent this forced logout by checking the Locked Connections checkbox in the System Settings in In-Sight Vision Suite Shell.

The following table shows the permissions for different user access levels:

Access Level | User Management | Auditing and System Validation | Factory Reset | Licensing | Communication Settings | Job Configuration | Job Validation | Web HMI Privileges
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---

Protected |  |  |  |  |  |  | Note: Can run but not configure. | Note: Cannot save jobs.
Locked |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Note: Can only see job results and unprotected web page elements.
