Learn how to create and manage user roles and users using the Portal.

Affective Computing by Virtue can have two kinds of users depending on their functional role:

User type	Description
Internal users	Administrative or managerial users who might be responsible for the following tasks, and more: Configuring the different project components Admin tasks Monitoring performance and analyzing the solution's results These users wouldn't typically interact with the solution directly as end-users, and can therefore be considered as internal users.
External users	Users who interact directly with the solution as end-users and participate in interactions. These users can be considered as external users. The data of external users is completely anonymized. Note: Depending on the solution use case, external users could be the same or a different set of users from internal users.
