Configuring Permissions
Fleet administrators can use the Permissions tool to assign permissions to other users.
Under the Permission tab, a drop-down dialog located on the upper-left corner displays the user Roles existing in the system.
Different Roles, such as Administrators, Supervisors or Users, may have different access levels to the Features available from each application.
These Features are listed in an expandable table and organized based on which of the applications allow access to them. Features that are common to all the applications are grouped first as Common Components.
There are basically three Access Levels to these features: No Access, Read Only and Full Access.
In the following example a user is granted Read Only Access to Fleet Settings (a Common Component) and No Access to vMax Stream. The different groups of features are displayed as:
- Common Components
- vMax Route (Route Management)
- vMax Commander (Video Management)
- vMax Live Plus (AVL GPS Tracking)
- vMax Stream (Live Stream)
Since Permissions are based on Roles, Features and Access Levels, let’s take a closer look at the adding and editing workflows to learn how those are configured in the next section.
In the Permissions screen, users can add, edit or delete Roles through the Role drop-down dialog and the two buttons located next to it.
To add a new Role:
- Click on the green Add New Role button. The Add Role dialog opens.
- Enter a Name for the Role.
- In the provided drop-down dialog, select another Role to Copy Permissions From.
- Click Save. The new Role appears in the Roles drop-down dialog.
- A confirmation message pops-up. Close the window to continue with another task.
After adding a new Role, you may need to edit some of the Permissions assigned to it to differentiate it from other Roles (remember you have just copied these Permissions).
To edit a Role:
- Click on the Role drop-down dialog and select the appropriate Role.
- Expand the Features in the table and locate those features whose Access Level you want to change.
- Select the appropriate Access Level (No access, Read Only or Full Access).
- Click Save at the bottom of the screen.
To delete a Role, simply click on the red Delete Role button.
