8 User Groups and Safety Concept
8.1 Basics
SMA Solar Technology provides a comprehensive safety concept that protects your system from
unauthorized access.
• System protection by means of a system password for each user group (User/Installer)
• Controlled access via SMA Grid Guard
SMA Solar Technology AG makes a general distinction between the two user groups: User and
Installer. Installers can adjust additional settings on devices after entering the SMA Grid Guard
code. The user groups have the following rights:
