## Access control <a href="#access-control" id="access-control"></a>

Restrictions are applied OpenVPN clients based on the user type and Tags. Owners and admins will have unrestricted access to all SIMs in your organization, whereas members' access will be determined by the Tags assigned to said member—both read and write access grants a member access to a given SIM, direction of traffic is not accounted for.

For a quick reference as to how access control works regarding the OpenVPN realm then see the following table:

| User type | Access to          |
| --------- | ------------------ |
| Owner     | Every SIM          |
| Admin     | Every SIM          |
| Member    | Determined by Tags |
