Management Console supports the following types of users and security roles:
*Administrator
A user and a security role. A user with Administrator role privileges functions as the Administrator user. The Administrator has privileges to perform all tasks in BIRT iHub System.
*Operator
A security role. A user with Operator role privileges performs tasks such as scheduling jobs, administering files and folders, performing autoarchive operations, and printing.
*User
A user with appropriate privileges can schedule jobs, view documents, administer files and folders, subscribe to channels, and configure personal settings in the user account.
Depending on the type of user or role, Management Console displays a different set of menu options, as shown in Figure 1‑14.
