Users and Permissions

User management is available from the Users page in the Reniway Edge application. This page is used to add users, remove users, set passwords, configure the user timezone, and control which parts of the platform each user can access.

First user registration

When the system has a valid license but no normal user account yet, the website shows the registration page on load.

The first registered user becomes the initial administrator and receives all available permissions.

This behavior is not limited to the first installation. If all normal users are deleted later, the register page is shown again the next time the website is loaded. The built-in support user does not prevent this behavior.

Users overview

Open Users from the left menu to see the current user list.

• Users.View allows opening the users overview and user detail pages.
• Users.Manage allows adding users, deleting users, changing passwords, and updating permissions.

Use Add User to create an additional account:

User detail page

Open a user from the list to manage the account in more detail.

From this page you can:

• update the user's password
• select the user's timezone
• grant or revoke permissions with the permission switches

The available permissions follow a simple View and Manage pattern:

Permission	Purpose
Connectors.View	View connectors and their configuration.
Connectors.Manage	Create and edit connectors and connector properties.
Flows.View	View flows.
Flows.Manage	Create and edit flows.
OpcUa.View	View the OPC UA Server pages.
OpcUa.Manage	Change the OPC UA server configuration and address space.
Users.View	Open the users section.
Users.Manage	Create, edit, and delete users and permissions.

User timezone and local timestamps

Each user can have their own timezone. The selected timezone is used by the interface to render timestamps in local time for that user.

This affects, for example:

• timestamps in the realtime logging window
• Last updated timestamps for live values and value changes
• other date and time fields shown in the web interface

If no user-specific timezone is stored yet, the interface uses the browser timezone. If the browser timezone cannot be resolved, the fallback is UTC.

When you change the timezone for your own account, the interface starts using the new timezone immediately after saving it.

For the logging window itself, see Realtime Logging.
