Access management controls what users, including administrators, can see and do with regards to shipments, locations and templates. Access management is useful when:

• Users are not permitted access to certain shipments. Users are only permitted to perform certain actions.

• Users are only permitted access to relevant templates.

• Customers that have an extensive network can give users access rights that focus on relevant information.

Access rights

Access management allows account administrators to control user’s access rights. Access rights assigned to users are based on shipments and locations and are knitted together with specific actions. Users are assigned access rights to the following actions:

• Read

• Create

• Modify

• Approve

• Delete

Examples:

1. User at a destination location can be granted Read only access to incoming shipments.

2. User at an origin location can be granted Read + Create access to shipments leaving that specific origin.

Shipments

User access to shipments is based on:

1. Shipments

   1. via Origin Location

   2. via Origin Country

   3. via Destination Location

   4. via Destination Country

   5. Global (all shipments)

The below graph shows how access rights are applied to shipments depending if the access right is granted via Global, Origin, or Destination:

Access to locations within a selected country simplifies access control for users that need access to shipments and locations related to specific countries. New locations are automatically added to users' access claims.

Locations Access rights

Following are the access rights that can be granted to users for locations and which actions they enable.

Template Access Control

Admin users can control which users have access to the templates used to create shipments. Users can therefore only select the templates made available to them when creating a shipment. If a template shows Restricted Template under the Templates section in the Info section, the user does not have access to it. Users can only see the names of templates if they have been given access to it. With or without access, users can see the ID number.
