Users vs. Contacts
With Stat Temp, users and contacts serve distinct roles that impact how you manage system access and notifications. Users are individuals with login access to the Stat Temp platform. They are assigned roles that determine their permissions, allowing them to view data, manage sensors, acknowledge events, and generate reports. Contacts, by contrast, do not have access to the system but can be included in notification chains to receive alerts via email, SMS, or phone. This guide will explain how to manage users and contacts effectively, including how to add, edit, and assign them to groups or notifications. It will also provide an overview of user roles and permissions to help you control access across your organization.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Stat Temp supports Microsoft Azure SSO.
To utilize SSO, please email StatTemp@gohcl.com to turn this feature on

User Roles
User roles in Stat Temp control what each user can see and do within the system. Roles define permissions for actions like viewing data, managing sensors, resolving events, or accessing reports. The platform includes built-in roles such as Administrator, and View Only, and also supports custom roles for specific needs. Assigning the right role ensures users have appropriate access based on their responsibilities.
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Administrator | Full access to all features and data. By default, admins can see all sensors in all groups. |
| Power User | Nearly all admin privileges but cannot modify roles or system settings. |
| User | Can manage events, generate reports, and view sensors and monitors. |
| View Only | Limited to managing events, generating reports, and viewing the dashboard, with no broader permissions. |
