The Users interface will provide the ability to add and edit users of the application. This tool can be accessed by clicking on the Administration Menu icon on the Utility Bar. Only users with the System Administrator security role, TIP Coordinator security role, or users assigned a role that includes the Manage Users permission will have this option available.
When "Users" is selected in the Administration picklist, its interface will appear on the screen.
On the left side, the user can view a table listing each User in the system. The three radio buttons above the table allow the user to easily filter the table to display All, Active, or Inactive Users. These columns appear on the table, regardless of the displayed Users:
| Field | Description |
| Last Name | This is the last name of the user. |
| First Name | This is the first name of the user. |
| Username | This is the username of the user which is used to authenticate the user within the system. |
| Office | This is the office in which the user is located. |
| Active | This showcases whether the User is Active (checkmark) or Inactive (no checkmark) within the application. |
To view more information about a user, the desired row in the table can be clicked. Then, the Detail window on the righthand side will be filled with its information. This area will include the user's name (Last Name, First Name) and a delete icon () in the header, and these fields below:
| Field | Description |
| Username | This text field allows the username of the user to be entered. The username must match the user’s login information for authentication. |
| Active | This toggle allows the user to switch the status of the user between Active and Inactive. Only Active users will be selectable in picklists throughout the application. The permissions for Inactive users will also be ignored by the application. |
| First Name | This text field allows a first name to be entered for the user. |
| Last Name | This text field allows a last name to be entered for the user. |
| Email Address | This text field allows the user’s email address to be entered. The entered value will be used for all system notifications. |
| Phone Number | This text field allows a 10-digit numerical phone number to be entered. |
| User Roles | This picklist allows one or more User Role(s) to be selected for the user. A user must have at least one role assigned to have edit capabilities within the system. |
| PIN | This 4-digit numerical field allows a PIN to be entered; this field will be present on the STIP side only. This field is required for users assigned the Highway Approver or Transit Approver user roles; otherwise, this field will be disabled. Values here are encrypted and will only show as asterisks. |
| Office | This picklist allows an office to be associated to the user. This picklist includes all available offices as defined in the User Office code list. |
| MPO/RTPO | This multi-select picklist allows the user to define specific MPO/RPO boundaries that the user has access to; this field will be present on the STIP side only. If no values are defined, the user will have permissions for all MPO/RPOs. This picklist will only be available if the selected User Roles have permissions that support location-based filters. |
| District | This multi-select picklist allows the user to define specific District boundaries that the user has access to; this field will be present on the STIP side only. If no values are defined, the user will have permissions for all Districts. This picklist will only be available if the defined User Roles have permissions that support location-based filters. |
Edit Users
To edit a user, the user can click into the desired field in the Detail window and edit it based on the field type:
- Textbox - type new values
- Picklist - select new values
Once a change is made, the "Save" button will appear to allow the user to save the new values. Alternatively, the user can revert the changes to their original values through the available "Cancel" button.
Add User
The "Add User" button above the Users table can be used to create a new User. After selecting this button, the Detail window will be cleared, so the user can enter information about the new user. All fields are editable when creating a user. Once the user has at least filled all required fields (Username, Email Address, and User Roles), they can select "Save" to create the user and place them in the table.
