## Overview

Access Types in Fuuz define the privileges a user has when they log in and determine what menus, tools, and data they can access across tenants (applications). Use Access Types to separate enterprise administration from application-level administration and end-user roles.

> **Note:** Enterprise administrators manage global users and Access Types; application administrators request access for new users but cannot create enterprise users directly.

## Access Types

- **Administrator:** Grants administrative policies for user management and platform configuration (including data ingress/egress and app customization).
- **Developer:** Grants design-time access (Schema Designer, Screen Designer, Data Flows, APIs, Documents).
- **Web Access:** Basic login only; requires roles within each application to access screens and data.
- **API Access:** Intended for API keys used by external systems.
- **Gateway Access:** Used by the system to authorize installed edge gateways; typically not assigned manually.

## Menus by Access Type

Application Administrators and Developers see additional menu sets on login, while Web Access users only see role-based menus. Use the left-side drawer (hamburger icon) to show or pin menus.

## Menu & Navigation Tips

- Use the left-side **hamburger** icon to pin/unpin the menu drawer.
- Expand high-level menu options to reveal sub-options.
- Role menus appear below admin/developer menus when a user also has roles.
