VTC System Permissions

Hello truckers!

Firstly, let’s outline what a “VTC” actually is. VTC stands for Virtual Trucking Company and they work mostly the same as haulage companies in real life except you operate these ones in the virtual trucking world.

When you create a VTC, you will notice one of the many things you can customise are the roles within your company. You can create new ones, remove existing ones, and make various changes to the permissions assigned to each. This article will explain what each permission does, so you can easily control what each person in your VTC can do and organise your staff as efficiently as possible.

Available Permissions:

Permissions are split into various categories, giving you even easier access to fine-tune what control your staff have over different aspects of your VTC page.

Important: By granting the “Manage” permission under any category, you automatically assign all permissions relating to that category, and changing the other tick boxes for that category will make no difference. Be careful when assigning manage permissions, as members can change a lot!

News

By granting your members with the Manage news permission, you will allow them to make and control the news posts that get published to the front page of your VTC, including being able to create, modify, hide and pin posts.

• Create: members with this permission can post new news posts to your VTC
• Delete: members with this permission can remove news posts published to your VTC
• View administration: members can see the admin overview for all news posts submitted to your VTC
• Edit: members with this permission can edit news posts, such as the content, visibility, pinned status and position
