9.9.1. The portal role of a user on a Gira S1
The difference between an administrator and user lies in the rights to make configuration changes on
the Gira Device portal. The owner of the device is also automatically the administrator. All adminis
-
trators can manage all the properties and user rights for the Gira S1 (with the exception of ownership).
The user can at most view the properties.
Note
The role of a user is based solely on the configuration options on the Gira Device portal and has noth
-
ing to do with the access rights to the remote network via remote access. Only the user groups are
used for the latter.
9.9.2. The access group of a user on a Gira S1
Using the access groups, it is possible to grant access to the remote network permanently or even
just temporarily based on groups. Using KNX communication objects, residents and installers can be
activated or deactivated at any time for both groups.
Note
The access groups of a user are based solely on the rights to access the remote network via remote
access, for example, to visit websites or to access the KNX installation using the ETS. If you want to
change the configuration options on the Gira Device portal for a user, use portal roles for this purpose.
9.9.3. Transferring device ownership - Handing over the keys
From the moment a Gira S1 is registered in the Gira Device portal, the Gira S1 has an owner. From
then onwards, there is only ever one owner.
The owner is the person who is legally responsible for the use of remote access. At the time of the
installation or configuration, this is usually the electrician or system integrator. When the keys are
handed over to the owner of the installation, ownership is usually transferred.
The owner of a Gira S1 can take away all rights of all other users at any time, including other admin
-
istrators, whereas no one can deny him or her access.
In the event of misuse of the Gira S1 or remote access within the meaning of the license agreement
or other legal regulations (violation of data protection or personal rights by cameras, or similar), the
owner is liable in the first instance.
Ownership can be transferred in the Gira Device portal. For this purpose, the
“Change owner” button is available on the “Portal user administration” page.
Ownership is transferred using a secure procedure:
1. The current owner clicks the “Change owner” button, enters the e-mail address of the intended
new owner and submits the request.
2. The intended new owner receives an e-mail containing a link for accepting the transfer of owner
-
ship. For security purposes, the same applies to the current owner.
