Predefined in VL. Operators assigned to GRP000 will have full access to all companies and menu items in ViewPoint Logistics. This level of access is usually reserved for a select few "super users" (management-level users) at a site.

Predefined in VL. Operators assigned to GRP999 will have no access to any companies or menu items. This level of access may be used by the SYSADM as the starting point when creating a new operator profile or to instantly "turn off" access privileges for one or more operators.

It is also the default group for legacy operator codes when migrating sites to ViewPoint Logistics from an earlier MAVES product. Later, these operators need to be re-assigned to the appropriate new group by SYSADM. For more information, see Upgrade Process - Reassigning Operators.

Operator-specific group codes are assigned to one operator only. They do not follow the GRP naming convention but are given a group code that is identical to the operator code; i.e., "JOHDOE" the operator belongs to "JOHDOE" the group.

This type of group code is created via the feature in the action grid. Single-user groups will show up in the list of available group codes; however, ViewPoint Logistics prevents any other operator codes from being assigned to that group.

This code is usually assigned to operators that have a unique set of responsibilities that might not be shared by any other users.

Each user at your site will be assigned an operator code by the SYSADM operator. Operator profiles are created and maintained using the action grid in the VL Security HighView. Operator profiles that are set up in ViewPoint Logistics will also be valid for accessing the VL Core Application Platform (e-Z Ware) directly. However, RF operators must be set up directly in RF91.

The operator code may contain any six alphanumeric characters, but typically follows the convention of using the first three letters of the user's first name followed by the first three letters of their last name; e.g., user John Doe would be "JOHDOE". When a site upgrades from a Maves' legacy product, ViewPoint Logistics retains any existing operator codes along with their current passwords.

New operator codes must be assigned to a group at the time they are created. This defines their initial responsibilities and access level; i.e., GRP999 (no access) can be used if you are unsure which group to choose, or are planning to create a new group later. The feature allows you to re-assign one or more operators to a different group code.

The SYSADM is also responsible for setting up MyLogistics client/trading partner accounts. Client group codes start with a prefix of "XG" (external group). Client operator codes start with the prefix "XO" (external operator). Client accounts are limited to a subset of the menu items and data that would be available to the 3PL operator. External operator groups and operator codes can also be defined by the client/trading partner's MyLogistics Administrator. For more information, see MyLogistics Account Administration.

Each operator group defines a selection of menus for accessing specific companies, systems, sub-systems, and jobs. Use the action grid to create the operator group code and to define menu access. For complete instructions, see Creating/Modifying Operator Groups.

Each operator group is associated with one or more companies. For each company, a group may be assigned access to specific systems, sub-systems, and jobs (menu items). Use the

and features in the and action grids to grant access to specific companies, systems, sub-systems and jobs. For complete instructions, see Assigning Company/System Access and  Assigning Menu Items.

Use the action grid to see a complete list of the operator groups that have unassigned menu items. It also provides the means to grant access to the available menu items. For complete instructions, see Unassigned Menu Items.
