This guide covers everything you need to know about our new revamped "Locations" (Previously "Grows") feature. Your location (Likely default view) is where all of your devices and data is displayed in the Pulse App. You're able to invite other users to your grow; invited users will be able to view your location, the devices, data, and alerts* associated.

*Only users invited as a paid role will be able to receive alerts/notifications. See below for more details on user roles*

User Roles

Each user on a grow will have a role. Depending on the role the user will have more or less permissions on the selected location. If a role is considered a "Paid" role then you will be billed accordingly for each additional paid user added to your location.

Guest (Free) - Unable to edit permissions or thresholds and will not receive any alerts/notifications. Hobbyist (Free) plan users are able to invite 1 free guest user, Enthusiast plan is able to invite 3 guests per paid user, and the Professional plan is able to invite unlimited guests.

Viewer (Paid *Pro Plan Only) - A "View Only" user. Unable to edit permissions or thresholds and will not receive any alerts/notifications. The viewer user role is only available for Professional plan subscribers.


โ€‹Editor (Paid *Pro Plan Only) - Editors are able to edit thresholds and alert settings, but are unable to edit user roles. Editors will receive alerts/notifications.

Admin (Paid) - Admins are able to edit everything on a location and have the ability to invite other users. Admins will receive alerts/notifications.
