Creating and Editing Users

Updated 3 months ago by Bob Medlin

What is the purpose of the Users page?

Following your first deployment with My Connected Fleet, 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 My Connected Fleet 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 My Connected Fleet 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 in the secondary menu (top of the page) on the category “Users” button

From here you can manage who can access your My Connected Fleet website.

The image above contains examples of current users that have access to My Connected Fleet, 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.
