Creating and Editing Users

Updated by Matt Childs

What is the purpose of the Users page?

Following your first deployment with MyConnectedFleet, a user has been created for your company (usually the fleet manager or administrator in charge of the deployment).

However, other people may need to have access to your MyConnectedFleet platform (management, managers, site managers, depot managers, drivers, transversal functions (finance, human resources, etc.), etc.).

These people will have specific needs, will subscribe to reports or alerts, and may have restricted visibility on your MyConnectedFleet depending on their role in the company.

Where can I find the Users page?

  1. First click in the main menu (on the left-hand side of the page) on “Settings Alerts & Locations”  button
  2. Second click on the "Organization" drop down menu
  3. Select the “Users” button

From here you can manage who can access your MyConnectedFleet website.

The image above contains examples of current users that have access to MyConnectedFleet, displaying details of their user's role, the group they belong to and their language and time zone settings.

  1. To quickly find a specific user, put a detail in the search box and click on "Search".

Create a new user

  1. To add a new user press the Create button

Then fill in the box that appears including giving the new user a role, and which groups within the site they can see.

Use combination of Roles (features) and Hierarchy (Access to Data sets) to control data access

REQUIRED FIELDS:

  1. User Name: Although any User Name can be selected, we recommend using the users e-mail address

Once created, an email is sent automatically to the user email address specified to finalize user registration and setup his password.

The sample file below contains a top (header) row. You should not remove this row. Place your first user in the row below the header.

The users list must be the first worksheet (Sheet 1).

The user list must contain:
