About roles in EmergencyOS

EmergencyOS allows you to assign default roles or custom roles to users. You can choose from the following default roles:

Account Administrator

A user with the Account Administrator role can manage all sites and has access to all EmergencyOS permissions.

The Account Administrator role cannot be assigned or changed in EmergencyOS. It must be assigned to the user in FacilityOS User settings.

Site Administrator

A user with the Site Administrator role can manage the sites assigned to them and has access to all EmergencyOS permissions. The sites assigned to the user can be managed in FacilityOS User settings.

Safety Officer

A Safety Officer helps keep employees and visitors safe during an emergency evacuation. They are responsible for confirming that everyone has safely exited the building, either by conducting roll calls at mustering points or by physically sweeping assigned areas.

By default, Safety Officers have the following permissions:

• Mustering Events: Allows Safety Officers access to Mustering Events to view all upcoming and past mustering events, log new events, download audit logs, or set up scheduled drills.
• Active Evacuation: Allows users to start or stop emergencies or drills.
