Changing access rights for users

How to set or change user access rights to objects in Energinet

• Always make sure to check whether the user is allowed reading or editing rights to the object before you apply these changes.
• Usually, an administrator in the relevant top-level must decide whether it is OK to give a new user access.
• When in doubt, always check with your administrator or [e-mail] 
• Access rights can also be assigned during the creation of an account (explained in this guide).
