Permissions and Roles

Overview
The MOTAR includes a permission-based identity management framework that is linked to data permissions and is enforced across the MOTAR services. Multiple levels of permissions exist under each role to ensure proper platform protection. Admins with account management permissions can approve and remove user account permissions. 

Another reason for multiple levels of permissions is to protect the vendor’s IP so vendors can rest assured that their applications are only visible to the USAF personnel.

Top Level User roles include:
