Background

The InfoEx system has four types of users with increasing permission levels:

• User: Can only enter observations and view InfoEx reports
• Observation moderator: Can submit observations to the InfoEx and execute workflows
• Operation administrator: Can modify location catalog, define InfoEx report templates and workflows, add and remove users from operation
• Super user (CAA only): Can administer the InfoEx and create new operations

Only Operation Administrators or Super Users can add, edit or delete users from a subscriber operation. See Description of user levels for a detailed description of the functionality accessible to the different user levels. Only Super Users have the credentials create other Super Users.

To completely block a user from accessing the InfoEx and your through your operation, simply remove them from your user table. See Removing a user from your operation for more details.
