The Administrator/User Model Ratifi.cloud uses an Administrator/User model whereby the Administrator is the ‘Responsible Person’ within your organisation. He or she has sole control of the system and sets up all the functionality. They can add and block users and enter all relevant data, alarm settings etc. The user receives alarm messages (as determined by the Administrator) and can access the data but cannot implement any changes.
