Unit access rights
Access rights to a unit allow the user to see the location of this unit on the map, track its indicators (speed, altitude, sensor values, and so on), send commands and messages to it, use the unit in reports, notifications, jobs, and perform other actions with it.
You can change access rights to a unit in two ways: in the properties of this unit or in the user properties. In the user properties, you should select Units in the filter, mark the required unit in the list and select the rights the user should have to this unit. Read more about granting access rights here.
As in the case of other macro-objects, the rights to units are divided into standard and special ones.
