Setting usage restrictions

 

When an organisation is initially set up on Promap there are no usage restrictions in place against the organisation as a whole or any of its users. This chapter shows you how to restrict usage of Promap using the Usage Restrictions facility. The Admin User can set the following restrictions for user accounts:

Which days the user/s or organisation can login

The times the user/s or organisation can login

How much the user/s or organisation can spend weekly

Whether the user/s or organisation can order environmental reports

Force the user/s or organisation to use certain colour schemes and print templates

The Admin User can set up usage restrictions that apply to an individual or the whole organisation. The restrictions you have set for your organisation will apply to all new user accounts you create and to any existing users in the organisation if you tick Force for all users

Additionally the Admin User can override restrictions set for an organisation so that trusted individuals are able to work on Promap outside of office hours or have a higher spending limit.

Notes

Admin Users cannot set time restrictions on themselves, as this is effectively the same as them locking themselves out of the system. The Admin User can never prevent him, or herself, from logging in to Promap.

Care must be taken when setting up usage restrictions. If restrictions are set for an Organisation incorrectly or by mistake, it is possible to STOP anybody logging in to Promap!
