Expertise Level and Users

How access levels — User 1–3, Tech 1–3, and Expert — match each person to the expertise they are qualified to see.

Every role carries one access level, and every piece of expertise carries the access levels allowed to see it. A person sees an item only when their role's access level is selected on it.

Access Levels

There are seven access levels. InSkill recommends using them this way:

Access levelTypically for
User 1, User 2, User 3Customers, distributors, and everyday operators
Tech 1, Tech 2, Tech 3Your own trained Technicians and field service staff
ExpertThe experts on a specific machine, who need the highest level of expertise

How a Person Gets a Level

A person's access level comes from their role. Each of InSkill's core app roles carries one:

RoleAccess level
User 1 - InSkill AppsUser 1
Tech 1 - InSkill AppsTech 1
Expert - InSkill AppsExpert

A custom role can use any of the seven levels. Assign a role when you add a person on the Team tab, or a customer on the Customers tab, of the Admin portal. See Roles and Assigning Roles.

Setting Levels on Expertise

All levels are selected by default. Clear a level to keep an item from people at that level — for example, clear User 1, User 2, and User 3 on a manual for repairing a high-pressure system that operators should not work on.
