Managing user permissions

On the Permissions tab of user details, you can configure their access rights on devices, drivers, entities and workspaces. This page describes how to configure permissions for a user and what each permission allows.

Instead of configuring permissions individually for each user, you can create a role and assign it to multiple users. See Managing user roles.

The permissions listed below apply to actions performed in both the user interface and through the API. By granting a permission, you are allowing the user to perform the corresponding operations using the API as well.

To test the availability of functionalities for the customer users, you can simulate a user session in Wialon Platform FleetSpace with all the applied permissions and interface changes. In the editor mode toolbar, click the button and select a user from the user preview dropdown.

Permissions are configured separately for each customer user in Wialon Platform Studio.

1. In Wialon Platform Studio, open the Customers page.

2. Select the customer whose user you want to configure.

3. Open the Users tab.

4. Click the user name, or click New user to create a user.

   

5. Open the Permissions tab.

   

6. Set the permissions in the Devices, Drivers, Entities, and Workspaces categories. The permissions required for a specific module are listed in the prerequisites of the module section, for example, Forms or Task desk.

7. Click Save.

The new permissions apply to the user at once. If the user is logged in to Wialon Platform FleetSpace, they see the changes after reloading the page.

Here, you can grant permissions related to devices.

Set available permissions and the level of access they provide for managing devices.

For the customers with the Indoor asset tracking billing plan, you can set only the View, Update, and Send commands permissions on devices.

Set permissions for creating, viewing, updating, and deleting driver profiles, as well as granting users access to the Wialon Driver app.

Provide control over specific features.

For most entities, you can assign View, Update, Create, and Delete permissions. The set of available permissions depends on the modules enabled for the customer. For the customers with the Indoor asset tracking billing plan, the list contains other entities. For details, see Indoor asset tracking entities.

If the customer has the Indoor asset tracking billing plan, the Entities section contains the entities of indoor asset tracking instead of the fleet ones. The Users entity is available too. It works the same way as for other customers.

For each entity, you can assign View, Update, Create, and Delete permissions. When you select any permission, the View permission is selected automatically. If you clear the View checkbox, all permissions for that entity are removed.

To open the Reports page and view the movement history of assets, the user must have the View permission on Assets and Buildings. Without either of them, the page isn’t shown in the menu.

For details on setting up the account, see Setting up an account for indoor asset tracking.

Select the workspace or multiple workspaces the user can access. A user must have access to at least one workspace to use Wialon Platform FleetSpace.

The list contains only the workspaces assigned to the customer. If you remove a workspace from the customer, the users of this customer lose access to it. If the customer has no assigned workspaces, its users work with the default workspace.
