Each role is labeled below its respective icon.

In SAP Intelligent Agriculture, there are five roles that can be assigned to the users: Data Scientist, Farm Manager, Farm Operations Planner, Farm Operator, and Master Data Manager.

Each role has specific authorizations to create, change, and display data in the different apps and can be associated to one or multiple farms to set the context of the authorization.

A technical role (Administrator) also exists to manage system functionalities with highest access rights, including the ability to onboard and manage external services that can be used for requesting and persisting data in SAP Intelligent Agriculture.
