Types of users
Racers are the most common type of user in DeepRacer on AWS, and any account that is created will automatically be created as a racer. Racers can learn the fundamentals of reinforcement learning; build, train, and evaluate models; and they can submit their trained models to live races that are hosted on the deployment. They can also import or export models from the deployment, allowing them to take a model to another deployment and use it there.
Racers can be promoted by an admin to either a race facilitator or to an admin (co-admin). Race facilitators and admins, in addition to their elevated permissions, also share the same abilities as racers.
Race facilitators are users who have been given elevated permissions by the admin of a deployment to help with creating and managing races. Race facilitators inherit the same permissions as racers, allowing them to also create, train, and evaluate models, and submit them to community races. Admins can also perform the same functions as a race facilitator, allowing them to create and manage races, in addition to having their own elevated privileges.
Admins have the highest level of permission on a given deployment of DeepRacer on AWS. Admins are able to manage the overall deployment, including managing users, resource utilization, and other operational aspects of the solution. Admins, in addition to their elevated permissions, also share the same abilities as both racers and race facilitators.
