User Editor

The User Editor is where TraCS user profiles are created and modified, and the actions users are able to perform in TraCS are set by assigning access levels.

Every person that you want to have access to TraCS must have a user account in the User Editor.

  • If Use Secure Password is checked, the user password must be at least 8 characters in length and contain at least one number or special character.
