Note: This functionality is only available in AutoTURN and AutoTURN Pro.

Program Settings - Permissions Category Dialog Box

AutoTURN Pro uses Permissions to allow CAD Systems Managers, et al, more control over the Permissions functions available to users in network configurations.

AutoTURN Pro ships with Permissions disabled, which grants users access to the standard program functions.

If more restrictive access is desired, administrators can enable permissions (see Enabling Permissions). Once permissions have been enabled, each AutoTURN Pro user will need to type the password assigned to the desired access level. If they do not type an access level password, they will have the Basic access level. AutoTURN Pro will remember the user’s last access level when they restart AutoTURN Pro so an access level password is not required every time.

The passwords are stored on the License Server and are accessed by all workstations running AutoTURN Pro.

Access Levels (from lowest to highest):

Basic

Can select vehicles but, cannot create or add loads, define tracking points or sight lines, cannot create or edit custom vehicles or configure steering linkages, corners, chamfers or cargo details. This access level does not have a password; log in as any other access level and then click Logout.

Standard

Can select vehicles, can create and copy vehicles and configure vehicle corners, chamfers, and cargo details, can add/delete/apply loads, tracking points, and sight lines, configure steering linkages and share vehicles up to the network database. Default password: standard.

Advanced

The Standard access level plus the ability to lock custom vehicles as well as the ability to record tutorials. Default password: advanced.

Administrator

The Advanced access level plus the ability to enable/disable permissions and change passwords. Default password: admin.

Note: An equivalent or higher access level than that of a custom vehicle is required to edit or delete the custom vehicle. All access levels allow the ability to view the vehicle details, corners, chamfers, steering linkages, and cargo details.

Enabling Permissions

At any workstation running AutoTURN Pro, in the Password box, type "admin" (without quotes) and then click Submit and then select the Enable Permissions checkbox.

It is recommended that the default Standard User, Advanced User, and Administrator passwords be changed at this time. Ensure that you record the new passwords for easy retrieval.

Typing the password for any access level and then clicking Submit will grant the user that access level after permissions have been enabled.

Note: Clicking Logout at any access level will set the user to the Basic access level.
