Creating and Editing Users and Permissions
Any user with the Role of '-Admin' is authorized to create / update / delete users in the ClearPathGPS Portal. (The 'std' or 'pro' or 'dash' prefix simply denotes whether your account is on our standard or professional level of service, as well as whether it is enabled for ClearPathGPS Dashcams.)
An Admin needs to:
- Navigate to Administration->User Admin
- Enter an email address in the "User Email:" field in the top right, and click 'New'
- Select the newly created user and then click 'Send Welcome Email'
- This will provide the user with a temporary password
- The 'Send Welcome Email' function can be used to remind users of their current password even after it has been changed
An Admin needs to:
- Navigate to Administration->User Admin, if not already there
- Select the circle to the left of the User they wish to edit's email and click 'Edit'
- Enter the user's name, select their time zone, specific groups they are assigned to, etc. You can manually change a User's password by clearing the password field, typing in their new password, and clicking 'Change' at the bottom
- You can control which vehicles a user can see by creating groups and then editing the users "Authorized Groups". Instructions for this can be found here.
- All new users are defaulted to just the "User" level permissions. To change a user's permission level, and thus whether they have the ability to delete Users, view Administration pages, etc. edit their 'Permission Level' at the bottom of their settings:
(For the different Role Permission levels, see the section below)
Once you have finished editing a User, select 'Change' to save your changes.
Here are the different level of permissions you can assign:
- Admin - Can access all pages including administration pages. Full access to all of the portal's features and capabilities. This permission level is required to add/delete new users.
- User- Can view and use the Map and Report pages. Can View the Vehicle, Driver, and Geozone Admin pages, but can not make any changes. If a user wishes to update an odometer or create a Geozone for example, they would need to be upgraded to a Manager or Admin.
- Manager- Can access Map and Report pages, as well as all of the Administration pages except the user admin page. Meaning they cannot change their, or other User's permissions but can edit vehicles, geozones, and everything else.
- User -Group-Map-Only- (Pro account option)- User can only see the group map and select different groups to view. Cannot select a Vehicle Details to view a specific route that a vehicle took.
- User Map Only- (Pro account option)- User can only see the group map but has access to select a vehicle and look at the route it has taken.
