Determining your Roles and Permissions

OPS-COM allows System Owners and Administrators the ability to setup roles that will restrict access to information and features in OPS-COM. Roles are a group of permissions that are bundled and assigned to a set of users. For example, you may wish to create a role for Patrol Officer. You will set the permissions for this role and assign users the role of Patrol Officer when you would like to grant them permissions that match that job. Users can be assigned multiple roles.

Setting up Your User Types and Profile Info

Your Account Executive will help you determine what user types may be useful for you to setup and what the rules appropriate to those users may be. For example, you may want to allow Full-Time Students to park in different lots than Part-Time students. User Types will lay the groundwork for you to do this.  Once you have decided what types you will be using, you can use this wiki article to set them up.  

You will also need to decide what information you will require when a new user creates a profile on your system. Refer to this wiki article for setup information.

Setting up ParkAdmin Options

A powerful aspect of OPS-COM is the ability to setup Virtual Parking lots and segregate them into Lot Groups and Zones. You will also have to give consideration to the types of permits and the rules for each permit type that you would like to use. For example, you may want to allow for permits that are sold daily or monthly.  For more information, review the information in this section of the wiki

General information can be placed here. Many ops-com users place schedule information on this landing page as well. For more information refer to this wiki article.

Module 2 - User Management

Users and their profile information form the backbone of the OPS-COM software. They link all modules together and allow you to have a complete history of everything about that user and associated vehicle.   You can Add, Edit and Search for Users. You can also buy Lockers and Permits and pay for Violations through the User Profile.  Merge tools and bulk email filters that allow you to reach out to your users are also available in this module.

Quick registration 

This is the area that you will need when adding a User to the system. Admins can manually add users or Users can be asked to log into the User Portal to create and manage their account.  When using this registration form, you will be able to assign the appropriate user type and input all other relevant information. This wiki article covers the Admin registering new users. For information about User Registration through the User Portal refer to this wiki article.

Working with Existing Users

You must search for Users before you can work with them. Once you have found a user you want to work with you click on their username in the search results. This will bring you to the user profile landing pageThis is a quick reference dashboard of the user's profile information and current user history.  For a complete article about this page and what you can expect, refer to this wiki article.

  • Person Profile does not match Admin created profile.

The Merge Vehicles option is used to combine two vehicles into one. It can also be used when a Vehicle has outstanding violations and a User has added the vehicle (with violations) to their account. This will associate the vehicle to the User and bring along all the violation history to the User. For more information about why vehicle duplicates occur. Read this wiki article.
