      Observer: What it is and how it works

      This article explains the Observer role on the Eligo voting platform, how it works, and what can be done with this profile.

      The Observer role can be assigned to committee members, organizers, or otherwise people who can access the platform from the backoffice and check the data.
      Specifically, this profile allows to:
      1. View voting data;
      2. Monitor turnouts during voting;
      3. Download final reports; 
      4. Regenerate credentials.
      To add an observer, the administrator must select "System Users" from the upper left bar; the list of users entered in the platform with their search bars will open. Click on top right  to add a new user:

      NOTE: The Observer can review the data but cannot edit it, send credentials, or open/close and suspend voting.
