[TRAC] Forecasters and Collaborators
Forecast Pro is available in two different types of licenses—Forecaster licenses and Collaborator licenses. The type of license you install will dictate the functionality you can access. A Forecaster has access to all the functionality described in this manual. A Collaborator can view and manipulate a forecast project created by a Forecaster (including viewing graphs and reports, adding overrides and comments, saving output, etc.) but cannot generate new statistical forecasts.
Operationally, the two installations are very similar. However, a Collaborator does not have access to any of the functionality relating to reading historical data and generating statistical forecasts. Thus, there are sections of this manual which will not be relevant to Collaborators.
