The Smart Gate checkpoint wall

Smart Gate: the barrier opens by number plate, and the checkpoint keeps working without the internet.

How it works

Users and roles

Owner, operator and viewer: who sees what and who can change what.

In all apps 3 min read

Everyone in the company who works with the system signs in with their own username to one shared account. Equipment and data belong to the account, and the role decides who can change what.

Three roles

RoleSeesCan
OwnerEverything in the accountEverything an operator can, plus: add employees and change their roles, pay invoices and edit the company details
OperatorEverything in the accountAdd and set up cameras, devices, assets, geofences, buildings, checkpoints, passes, retranslators and alerts
ViewerEverything in the accountWatch video, the map, logs and reports. Cannot change anything

The role is checked by the server, not only by what the page shows: a viewer cannot save changes even if they see a form.

Accounts are isolatedAn employee sees only their own account’s equipment. Other customers’ data is not visible to them on the map, in the lists or by a direct link.

The Users section

Only the account owner sees this section. It lists the employees with their role, status and last sign-in time, and below the list is the “Add a user” form.

The Users section: three employees with different roles

A second owner cannot be added: changing the owner changes who holds the account, and that is done through us.

Change a role or password, disable

  • A role is changed by choosing it in the employee’s row and applies at once.
  • The “Password” button sets a new password if the employee has forgotten theirs.
  • “Disable” closes sign-in without deleting the username: that makes it easy to restore access if the person comes back. An “Enable” button then appears in its place.

The phones of employees who signed in to the Android app are listed in the app itself, on its phones screen; the owner of a phone can disconnect it there.

If something went wrong

  • There is no Users section. You have the operator or viewer role; employees are added by the account owner.
  • An employee cannot sign in. Check that they are not disabled, and set a new password with the “Password” button.
  • An employee cannot see a camera or a vehicle. The equipment was added in another account; the system administrator moves it.
