Before You Begin

Required: Valid SRM account, valid Texada Web account, valid login credentials and access permissions, existing security role with assigned permissions and menu access, existing division

Context

Create a Texada Web and/or Texada Mobile user in SRM to allow them to access the applications to take advantage of their functionality.

Note: This article covers the minimum required steps to create users and grant them Texada Web and/or Texada Mobile access. For more detailed coverage of creating a user, see “Create a Texada Web/Mobile User in SRM”.

Divisions and Locations

The division and location the user is assigned to during the creation process is vitally important. You can enable a user to view the information related to one, some, or all divisions and locations in Texada Web and/or Texada Mobile. Setting this up for a user has a dramatic effect on the data they have access to. See “Add a Texada Web and/or Texada Mobile User to Multiple Divisions in SRM” for more information on how to add a user to multiple divisions. 

In addition, when setting up a user for multiple divisions, you have the ability to set different security roles for each division, giving you full flexibility in terms of what your users can see and do in Texada Web and/or Texada Mobile. For example, a user might have permission to edit a work order in one division but only view work orders in another. See “About Permissions and Menu Access in Texada Web and Texada Mobile” for more information on controlling what users can see and do. 

Drivers and Technicians

When creating a driver or technician user, there are additional steps required for each role that are not required for the other roles. This step adds the drivers or technicians to any driver or technician selection dropdowns in certain parts of Texada Web and/or Texada Mobile, such as work orders or tickets.
