Grant operator permissions to a user

When you grant operator permissions to a user, you select which roles the user has in
BlackBerry AtHoc
. The roles a user has determine the
BlackBerry AtHoc
 features they can access. The roles that can be assigned to users are determined by the enabled features in an organization.
Only Organization Administrators, Enterprise Administrators, and System Administrators can grant operator permissions to users. Operators cannot update their own permissions. Operators cannot assign or revoke higher level operator permissions than their own permissions. For example, an operator with Organization Administrator permissions can revoke or grant Organization Administrator permissions to another operator, but cannot grant Enterprise Administrator or System Administrator permissions
Only System Administrators and Enterprise Administrators can grant operator permissions to users in an enterprise or super enterprise organization.
User accounts that have the
Service Account
 option selected do not have their operator permissions revoked in the following scenarios:
  • Automatic revocation setting in the Security Policy settings.
  • Operator role import.
  • From the
    More Actions
     menu on the user profile.
  • Manual removal of operator permissions by clicking
    Edit Operator Permissions
     on the profile page.
User accounts that have the
Service Account
 option selected can have their operator permissions revoked through user move.
