Access Management: Setting up Operators

With Access Management you can quickly and easily oversee access on a day-to-day basis to ensure operators are safe and assets are secure. Learn how to set up Operators for Access Management.

Operators represent the people you give access to your assets. Before an operator can unlock assets or complete inspections, you must first create an operator profile.

Depending on your setup, operators can:

  • be assigned access keys to unlock assets,

  • complete required asset inspections,

  • or both.

Before you begin:

  • For Access Management: Make sure your Raw device and keypad are installed, activated, and verified before creating operators and assigning access keys.

  • For Inspections: You can create operators without setting up a keypad.

  • You need to have an Admin or Fleet Admin role to be able to use Access Management in Trackunit Manager. Read more about user roles here
