User Setup

Users gain access to AssetAsyst® by having a user access name and password. Each user may require different access privileges and so the “User Setup” form allows the administrator to allocate those privileges.

Add New User

A new user can be added by clicking the Add button. Existing user details can be edited by clicking the Edit button and users no longer required can be deleted by clicking the Delete button. New users will not be required to insert a password.

Permissions

The “Permissions” section allows system administrators, works managers and asset managers to restrict user access and rights to specific elements of the software.

Roles

Users can be allocated to a role. Each role allows that user to be allocated to inspection works and/or maintenance works, or conduct more detailed GIS work.

Authorities

“Authorities” provide the system managers with levels of security to maintain the system and data integrity. The system manager can permit users to access only elements of the system by checking the boxes which apply to that user. Only the Administrator Authority can add and edit user permissions.
