Managing permissions⚓︎
All users with the full fleet users permission can grant and revoke permissions for existing users as well as during the user invitation process. Keep in mind that while some permissions do not require another permission, using their associated features is not possible without other permissions. For example, the vehicle commands permission is granted independently of the vehicles permission. However, users can only utilize their permission to send vehicle commands if they at least have the vehicles.ro permission.
Hint
Without the vehicles.ro permission, a user’s access to FleetControl is heavily restricted. Consider granting this permission to all users that need to use FleetControl.
Presets⚓︎
FleetControl contains four permission presets that cover the most common jobs of FleetControl users. To apply a preset to a user, select a user from the list on the left. Then, choose a preset from the drop-down menu on the right.
Finally, select Update User to apply any changes made.
Fleet Manager-
The Fleet Manager preset fully grants all permissions. This means that Fleet Mangers can view and edit all data and settings within the fleet. Only the Fleet Manager preset contains the full fleet users permission, which means that, per default, adding and removing users as well as granting and revoking permissions is limited to these users. Grant the Fleet Manager preset to users that will administrate your fleet and its user accounts.
Support-
Users with the Support preset can view all vehicle data, such as master data or events, and send vehicle commands. In case of malfunctioning vehicles, they can try to identify problems and attempt to fix them. Grant this preset to users working in customer support.
Developer-
The Developer preset fully grants all permissions except two. Developers can view all areas of FleetControl, but cannot edit vehicle data nor grant or revoke permissions. Also, they cannot invite or remove users to and from your fleet. Grant this preset to users involved in developing complimentary software to FleetControl.
Operations Specialist-
The Operations Specialist preset fully grants all permissions related to vehicles as well as the ability to view fleet-wide settings. Grant this preset to users working on fleet expansion and maintenance.
Custom permission sets⚓︎
Instead of using presets, you also have the option to grant and revoke permissions on an individual basis. To do this, select a user from the list on the left. Then, simply grant or revoke permissions by ticking or unticking the respective boxes and, if applicable, decide whether the user should have read-only or read & write access.
Multi-factor authentication methods⚓︎
If you are allowed to invite new users to your fleet, you can also see which users have setup which type of multi-factor authentication. If a user has activated multi-factor authentication for their account, the selected method is displayed next to their name on the Users page.
