This guide helps iThenticate administrators choose the right roles when adding users, so each person has the access they need.
In this guide:
Account admin role
Use the Account admin role to give a user account-wide administrative access, including:
- product settings across the account
- user management (adding and removing users)
- integrations and SSO configuration
- the Paper Lookup tool
- license information
Account admins can view all user details and can view all submissions made to the institution.

- Principal User: the user can manage folders, upload files for similarity checking, and view Similarity Reports.
- User: the user can access My Files to create and view Similarity Reports.
Upload restrictions
Under 'Upload restrictions', choose whether the user can upload files:
- Upload and view: the user can upload files and view Similarity Reports.
- View only: the user can view Similarity Reports but cannot upload files.
