The User Record

Each user in Broadsign Ayuda has a record detailing their permissions.

The user records are edited in the Broadsign AyudaAdmin tool. The user record contains nine tabs.

Tab Description
The Basic Info tab contains most of the user's core information, including name, access type and contact information.

The Roles tab is where the roles that have been configured for your deployment are added to the user record. See Link Roles to Users.

Note: Typically, many roles are needed to make even a single user account functional.
The Teams tab is where teams can be added to the user profile. See Creating and Editing Teams.
The Offices tab is used to group users. Offices can also be linked to sales markets. See Creating and Editing Offices.
The Plants tab lists the facilities for the storage and management of static copy. Users can be assigned to plants. See Plants.
The Sales Markets tab contains groups of geographic areas. These reflect the sales and marketing strategies of each Broadsign Ayuda customer, and how they divide and report on their sales territories. Examples might be different areas in a city, Major markets, metropolitan, suburban, rural, highway, airports or schools.
The Linked Users tab is used to link users together. This is useful for departments where users may need to work together. It is meant to widen the permissions set by the access type.
The Attributes tab contains Attributes, which are custom data elements. These vary from customer to customer. If special attributes have been configured for your company, these will be selectable here. See Adding Attributes.
The History tab lists the creation dates and last modifications to this user account.
