Getting Started

By default, only people with Administrator access will have the Depot Group Acces permission turned on.

Depot groups allow you to split your organisation into groups and control the access of employees to each portion. This accommodates businesses that have a large number of depots but office staff who only schedule or need access to a small number of them.

By default, everyone has access to all depot groups, and that must be first turned off per person. This will allow organisations that do not use depot groups to continue on.

Whats restricted?

When an employee is restricted to particular depots they will only be able to see the resources, people and data assigned to the depots included in the depot group.

This includes:

  • Depots

  • Reporting Data

  • Equipment

  • Sites

  • Assets

  • Bookings

  • Leave

  • Kit

  • People

  • Vehicles

  • Blocklists

Access to Clients has not changed at this stage and will follow the existing territory rules.

  1. Navigate to Admin
