Power user: A user profile with the rights for[ viewing](/total-materia-integrator/total-viewer.md), [creating](/total-materia-integrator/creator/materials-management/create-materials.md) and [editing](/total-materia-integrator/creator/materials-management/add-edit-material-data-properties-diagrams-and-documents.md) materials.
