How to Manage Multi-Account Permissions - Locate

 

Overview

The Multi-Account Permissions feature enhances the existing Multi-Account functionality by giving administrators full control over user access across multiple accounts.

With this feature, admins can directly manage who can view and access multiple accounts, as well as define account-specific permissions without needing support team assistance in most cases.


Key Capabilities

1. Multi-Account View Access

Admins can grant users access to an “All Accounts” view.

  • When enabled, users will see an “All Accounts” option in their Locate profile.

  • This view allows users to:

    • See equipment, geofences, and landmarks across all accessible accounts in a single view.

    • Monitor everything centrally on the Live Map.

⚠️ Note:
Editing is not allowed in the “All Accounts” view. Users can only view data.

2. Account-Specific Access Control

Admins can assign users access to specific accounts only.

  • Users will only see and access the accounts assigned to them.

  • If Multi-Account view is disabled, users:

    • Will not see the “All Accounts” option.

    • Will be restricted to individual accounts they have permission for.
