Giving access to the Growboard

Sometimes it is very useful to share access to the Growboard with your colleagues and consultants. This way they can independently view (and edit) the Growboard. The Growboard has different roles for different levels of access.

Types of access to the location

Guest: View-only access to the Growboard and graph

Grower: Access to all features, but only has permission to rename Compartments, Sections, and Placements, cannot add, (re)move, and delete anything

Admin: Access to all features, can rename, add, (re)move, and delete freely

When should I grant someone Grower or Admin access?

If a colleague within your organization needs access to your Growboard, you can add them to your location and assign the role that best matches their responsibilities.

For example:

• Grower: Colleagues who monitor irrigation, review sensor data, and uses Growboard as part of their daily cultivation work
• Admin: Colleagues who also need to manage users, locations, permissions, or other Growboard settings, such as a head grower or location manager

If the person only needs to view your Growboard data without making changes, such as a consult, assign them a Guest role instead.
