Permissions

The permissions that a user has will determine what areas of the skill manager they'll be able to access as well as what functions they'll be able to perform in the skills manager. Permissions are assigned to a security profile which is then assigned to the user.

Available permissions are:

• Manage Users: Allows users the to add new or manage existing security profiles and user profiles. The Admin page link will show on the menu bar and the user will have access to the Users tab.
• Manage Audiences: Allows users the ability to manage the audiences that users are assigned to. The Admin page link will show on the menu bar and the user will have access to the Audiences tab. 
• Manage Organization: Allows users the ability to manage information about the organization. The Admin Page link will show on the menu bar and the user will have access to the Icon tab.
• Delete Skill Packages: Allows users the ability to delete a skill that belongs to and is owned by their organization.
• Access Chat Feed Telemetry: Allows users the ability to view the Andi chat feed logs in the Andi Skills Manager. The 'Andi Feed' tab will show on the Manage Skill dashboard.
• Install Skills from Gallery: Allows users the ability to view the Gallery and install skills from the Gallery to the Skills Manager.
• Manage API Keys: Allows users the ability to create and revoke API keys to use for authentication when using the Andi API.

Security Profiles

Security Profiles are roles that are created containing certain permissions, which are then assigned to a user. The Andi® platform contains 5 default security profiles, which meet the most common roles needed to utilize the platform. However, you also have the option to create, modify, or delete security profiles (dependent upon your own user permissions).

Default Security Profiles

The following are the available default security profiles:

• Business User: Users with this profile can only enable/disable skills for Everyone, access the Andi® Feed, and install skills from the Gallery.

• Organization Administrator: Users with this profile can perform all functions in Andi® as well as create, edit, and delete security profiles; contains all available permissions.

• Skill Administrator: Users with this profile can deploy and enable/disable skills in all environments, access the Andi® Feed, and install skills from the Gallery; contains non-user and non-audience management permissions.
