I understand that I create custom roll then can assign this to exist Controls Engineer, Maintenance Engineer, Maintenance Manager and Production Manager roles.

 

But I want to modify access rights more restrict.

For example.

Create user group "AssetViewer" and this group have role that only show Asset Advisor tile in the console.

 

How can I do this?

@slangley I am facing this issue as well.  I can create a custom role, but I need a more granular approach to assign permissions, rather than the documented way of just adding a user to one or more of the existing User Groups.

Hi @nmilleson@NH_8956778, and @nahuel 

 

The best approach is to vote for existing requests or post a new request on the ThingWorx Ideas board.  With enough votes, it will be considered for a future release of the product.

 

Here is a request already posted which you can vote for:

 

Add more granular control options on Runtime Permissions for System User
