    • Email address
    • First name
    • Last name
    • Role selection

4. Select Appropriate Role​

When selecting a role, follow the principle of least privilege:

  • Velolink User: Basic access with read-only data permissions
  • Velolink Admin: Full access to data and settings
  • Choose the most restrictive role that still allows the user to perform their required tasks

Post User Creation Process​

  1. An email verification message will be sent to the new user's email address
  2. The user must click the verification link in the email to activate their account
  3. After verification, the user can either:
    • Log in with the provided credentials
    • Use the "Forgot Password" feature to set their own password

Important Notes​

note
  • Users cannot access the system until they verify their email address
  • Role changes can be made after account creation if needed
  • Users should be encouraged to change their password upon first login
  • Regular audits of user roles are recommended for security

Best Practices​

  • Regularly review user access levels
  • Remove or deactivate unused accounts
  • Document role assignments for audit purposes
