In fleet management software, a critical point is to establish which actions the different roles and users can perform. The purpose is to prevent a user from accidentally or intentionally performing functions that do not correspond to them.
For this purpose, DeltaTracking offers its clients an architecture of access and permission, based on roles and users. In such a way that the entrance to the functionalities of the GPS tracking platform can be delimited.
Access can be limited by means of three credentials: account, username and password. Where the password within the system is encrypted and it is not possible to access it.
Advantages of the roles and users tool
Among the main benefits offered by the role and user functionality are the following:
- Provide temporary users to suppliers or clients, to follow up on their merchandise
- Create users with basic functionalities, only to view location
- Create alerts for a specific group of units, without affecting the entire fleet
- Have several levels of access from the main account, customer account, users, groups, roles, etc.
Role types
In the role and user tool of the DeltaTracking platform, there are currently three roles predefined: administrator, moderator and visitor. It is also possible to create custom roles
according to specific needs, as well as limit access to unauthorized functions, from most to least.
The main functions of the predefined roles are as follows:
Administrator
You have full access to the platform, except for the functions of the main account.
Moderator
It has an intermediate level of access, preventing the modification of parameters that affect the functionality of the devices.
Visitor
It has a low level of access, where you can only view the location.
