In this article, we are going to compare the different permissions that come along with different user types. Depending on your user type, e.g. Planner, you may notice some restrictions on the availability of features on your account. This may be the reason why users cannot locate some features when making content changes. It is always recommended to check your user type to be aware of your level of permissions.
Below will be a brief outline of each user type followed by a comparison of the varying level of permissions for different user types.

User Types
Administrator
Administrators use PAM to set up user accounts, access data and add / update information to the PAM platform. The Administrator will add in new buildings, roads or pedestrian ways, then work with the Planner to make sure all the implementation steps are completed. Finally, the Administrator is responsible for implementing new scenes and playbooks into PAM.
...
Planners work in conjunction with the management team to understand how vehicles and pedestrians make their way through the project and plan content accordingly. This process is expected to be continuous, and evolve as operational learnings are recognised within the environment. The Planner uses PAM to document all this information and record the exact location and content of each planned sign.
Agent
Agents have the least a lower amount of privileges and report to Managers. They are usually tasked with a single, specific purpose which is generally updating content based on requests raised up by Administrators, Planners and Managers. For example, when duplicating a scene they may be solely tasked with updating the digital signs. Another example is they may be tasked with opening and closing parking lots. Any content changes an Agent makes will require approval by a Manager or Administrator before changes are published live.
Content Manager
Content Managers have the least amount of privileges. They only have access to add content into the Experience and Tenants.
