Users and roles

The first account is the super admin from SUPER_ADMIN_EMAIL / SUPER_ADMIN_PASSWORD. Super admins add more people from the Users page.

Role	Can
SUPER_ADMIN	Everything, including users and the licence, and every API key's data
ADMIN	Create API keys and manage the data of the keys they created
VIEWER	Read the data of the keys they created; no changes

API keys carry their own permission (WRITE, READ, NONE) and optional expiry; both are enforced on every request.
