# Fabric Maintenance User Roles

To do Fabric Maintenance (FM) in IMS PEI, you needs to have a FM Role assigned in IMS. (This is done in the [Security Settings](/v414/docs/security-settings#users)).

## **FM Roles**

There are two FM User Roles (editor and viewer) in IMS PEI. Users with a FM Role have a lite / decluttered IMS PEI view, i.e., they see only the needed IMS PEI menus and functions.

With the FABRIC MAINTENANCE Role you can:

- Create & Edit AREA-FLOCs & assign multiple FLOCs to them.
- Create & Edit Equipment (Equipment Group = "AREA").
- Create & Edit CAIRs with the FM Checklist (and link to Planned Events). (It is also possible to create Inspection Schedules.)
- Create & Edit ECHs with the FM Checklist.
- View a FM KPI Dashboard (and later 2D/3D Maps).

With the Fabric Maintenance Viewer Role you can:

- Read (but not edit) all of the above.

## Overview

For more information on the FM User Roles and their associated privileges, see: [PEI User Roles](/v414/docs/pei-user-roles).

A summary of the FM Roles are also given here:
