Users
Topics in this section:
* An application user must have a user role with
View/Modify permission to the Admin feature to add, edit, delete or restore a user.
Related topics:
-
User ID - Identifier the user uses to login to the application
-
User Name - The name of the user, given in the format Last Name, First Name
-
User Role - The user role currently assigned to
the User
User Roles determine the user's level of permissions to web application features.
-
Enabled - If the user is permitted to access the web application
An Enabled user is permitted to sign in to the web application,
whereas a Disabled user is prohibited from doing so.
-
Status - Displays the status of the user.
Active - The user is active and is permitted to access the web application if also Enabled.
Deleted - The user has been deleted and can no longer access the web application.
The viewer's Home Terminal Access setting determines which users are displayed.
If the viewer's Home Terminal Access is set to All Home Terminals, the viewer will see all users in
the organization, provided no additional filters are enabled. If the viewer's Home Terminal Access is
set to a particular home terminal, the viewer will see only those users with the same
Home Terminal Access as the viewer.
To add a new user to the organization:
- Click the new button . This displays the User Detail page.
- Enter the user's details.
-
Click the Save button to save changes and return to the Users list page.
Points to remember when adding a user:
-
The User ID must be unique. No two users or drivers in an organization may
share the same ID, even if they are assigned to different
home terminals. Uniqueness checking is case
insensitive and includes both deleted and non-deleted records.
-
If the viewer's Home Terminal Access is restricted to a particular home terminal,
that viewer can only add users with Home Terminal Access to that same home terminal.
To edit the details of a user already existing in the organization:
- Locate the row in the table containing the user you wish to edit.
-
Click the User ID link. This displays the User Detail
page.
- Change the user's details.
-
Click the Save button to save changes and return to the Users list page.
Points to remember when editing a user:
-
When changing the User Role or Home Terminal Access for a user who is
currently signed in to the website, the new permissions will take effect the next
time the user (re)loads a web page.
-
If the viewer's Home Terminal Access is restricted to a particular home terminal,
that viewer cannot change the Home Terminal Access for any user.
-
A user can never change his or her own User Role, Home Terminal Access,
or Enabled status.
When a user leaves your organization, you may wish to delete the user so that he or she is
prevented from signing in to the application. Deleting a user also hides the user's records
so that they are no longer included in reports.
* Deleting a user merely hides the user's records; it does not remove the user's records
from the database.
Users may be deleted from the Users list page (one or more users at a time) or from the
User Detail page (one user at a time).
