How do I create admin accounts on the TAR?

 

First, you will need to create a "Group" to set management permissions, so the group administrator you set will only be able to access areas of the TAR console you specify. 

 

In the navigation panel, click Admin Groups to open the Group Management pop-up window:

 

Click Add a Group to open the Add a new Group pop-up window:

 

Type in up to 32 characters for the Group Name. TIP: You may want to name the group for the type of permissions to be assigned. This will distinguish the name from other names, such as those set up for user groups.

 

By default, “Gauges” is selected and therefore grayed out. This indicates the administrator to be added will be able to view and modify gauge content. Click the appropriate checkbox(es) to specify the type of access the administrator will be granted on the TAR console or its related devices:

 

After permission sets have been created, profiles of group administrators can be set up to monitor user groups.

 

In the navigation panel, click Admins to open the Admin System pop-up window:

 

Click Add New Admin

 

Type in the TAR Login ID the group administrator will use to access the TAR interface.

 

Type in the Password the group administrator will use in conjunction with the TAR Login ID, and enter that same password again in the Confirm Password field.

 

Click Next to go to the Contact Info tab.

 

Type in the group administrator’s Employee Name.

 

Type in the group administrator’s Work Phone number, without entering special characters such as parentheses ( ), a hyphen (-), a period (.), or a left slash (/).

 

Optional: Type in the group administrator’s Home Phone number without entering any special characters.

 

Type in the group administrator’s Email address.

 

Optional: Type in identifying information about the group administrator’s physical office Location.

 

Optional: Type in identifying information about the group administrator’s physical office Location.

 

Optional: Type in any Comments to be associated with the group administrator’s account.

 

Click Next to go to the Groups tab.

 

In the Group tab you select the user group(s) to be monitored by the group administrator.

 

In the Available list, click the user group(s) to highlight your selection(s), and to activate the Add button.

 

Click Add to include the user group(s) in the Assigned list box.

 

After selecting each user group to be assigned to the group administrator, click Submit to close the Add new Administrator pop-up window and to return to the Admin System pop-up window.

 

Note that the Active Users frame now includes the group administrator’s TAR Login ID.
