All the system objects used in LeaseControl are divided into micro- and macro-objects.

Micro-objects

Micro-objects include:

• geofences;
• jobs;
• notifications;
• report templates.

These objects always belong to a certain resource and form an integral part of it.

You can work with micro-objects only in the monitoring system.

Macro-objects

Macro-objects include:

• accounts and resources;
• billing plans;
• users;
• units;
• unit groups.

The distinctive features of macro-objects are as follows:

• They exist independently and do not form part of a bigger object such as a resource.
• They can contain smaller objects which are deleted together with the macro-object they belong to. For example, a resource can consist of geofences, jobs, notifications and report templates. A unit can include sensors, commands, and custom fields. Users and unit groups can contain custom fields.
• The properties of most macro-objects (accounts, resources, users, units, unit groups) contain the Access tab which allows you to manage access rights to their contents or other macro-objects.

You can manage accounts, resources and billing plans only in the management system (CMS Manager). Users, units and unit groups are available both in the monitoring system and in CMS Manager.
