Online Mooring administrators control who has access to the web site, and what they can do, through the management of security roles. Each user is assigned to a single security role, and the administrator can specify what members of that role can do.
To set up a new user of Online Mooring, you'll need to do the following:
Create a Login ID
Login IDs can be created by an administrator, or by the user themselves.
In order for an administrator to create a login ID, they must first log out by clicking the My Account > Logout menu option.
To create a Login ID:
- Go to Online Mooring (http://my.OnlineMooring.com/sitename, replacing "sitename" with the name of a specific provider)
- Click the Login link in the Menu
- On the
Login page, fill out the "Create a New Login" section, and click the Register button.
Assign a security role to the login
When Login IDs are created, they are automatically assigned to the "Public" role, which has minimal rights. If you want the user to have additional rights, an administrator will need to change the role they are assigned to. Only administrators can do this.
If you are unsure which security role to use, you can visit the
Roles page, which gives a description of each security role, and allows you to see what rights that role has.
To change the security role for a Login ID:
- Choose the Security > Users option from the Online Mooring menu.
- On the
Users page, find the Login ID in the list (if there are many Login IDs, you may need to scroll, or you can type the user's Login ID or e-mail address and click Filter to show it)
- Click the Edit icon next to the login ID
- On the
User page, select the correct role from the drop-down list, and click Save.
(Optional) Giving a Login ID enhanced rights to a subset of your database
You may want someone to be able do things to a subset of applications in your database. For example, you may want to allow inspectors to enter inspection results only if they are listed as the inspector of a mooring. Or you might want to allow someone to view or update information about one specific area within your jurisdiction. If this Login ID needs enhanced rights for a subset of your database, an administrator will need to specify a filter that specifies the appropriate subset.
To specify a filter for a Login ID:
- Choose the Security > Users option from the Online Mooring menu.
- On the
Users page, find the Login ID in the list (if there are many Login IDs, you may need to scroll, or you can type the user's Login ID or e-mail address and click Filter to show it)
- Click the Edit icon next to the login ID
- On the
User page, fill out the Filter section of the page. If the user is an inspector, select which Inspector they are from the drop-down list. If the user should only have access to a certain area or sub-area within the jurisdiction of the provider, select those. Then click Save.
