ABOUT THE ADMIN ROLES

There are some roles we recommend you NOT give users unless you really intend for them to be doing "administrative" tasks:

  • Administrator
  • Company Setup
  • Default
  • Purge (Anything) -- i.e., Employees (Purge), Log Files (Purge), etc.
  • Encompass® ELD Admin - Grant if you expect the user to help with unassigned log events, assigning ELDs to vehicles, managing the Encompass® ELD Device listing, the ELD Device listing, and Encompass® ELD default settings.
  • User Maintenance

 

Why limit these roles?  The above roles play crucial roles in the way your system is setup and behaves.  We've found too many administrators spoil the data (so to speak).  We recommend you keep your administrator numbers down to minimum and coordinate as a team.
