How to prevent users from accessing certain features in the SureMDM Console

As an administrator, you might have a need to restrict other users in your account to only a few features. e.g., user A could be allowed to push files to remote devices but is not permitted to locate the position of devices on a map. Or user B could remotely lock the devices but not  remotely wipe them.

SureMDM now has a new feature using which the SureMDM administrator of an account can control permissions for other users. As an Administrator, you can configure the permissions of an existing user or create a new user.
