Primary Administrator vs. Device Manager
The role of Primary Administrator within a Consumer Beam Organization is automatically assigned to the account holder (email address) used to link the Beam to the organization.

- Adding and removing Beams
- Changing organization name
- Customizing email notifications and invitation messages
- Editing primary contact information
- Adding new users
- Promoting users to device manager
- Removing users (including their own account)
- Viewing Beam/user activity
- Viewing Beam system information (e.g., Serial Number, Software Version, SSID, Mac and IP Addresses)
- Editing Beam details (e.g., Name, Location Labels, Time Zone, and Image)
- Restarting and shutting down Beam(s) remotely
A Device Manager is a user with permission to manage a specific device(s) within a Consumer Beam Organization. A device manager can perform tasks including:

- Viewing Beam system information (e.g., Serial Number, Software Version, SSID, Mac and IP Addresses)
