User & Resource Management
Assign users and resources to specific sites and site groups with granular access control and comprehensive management capabilities.
Before You Start
Make sure you have administrator access to the system, understanding of user roles and permissions, resource inventory information, and access control requirements for your organization.
User & Resource Management
User and Resource Management provides comprehensive capabilities for assigning users and resources to specific sites and site groups. This system enables granular access control, efficient resource allocation, and streamlined management of location-based operations.
