User Roles and Access

Picture of a Florida Roadway


Access to the ITSFM as well as the ability to view and edit data within it is controlled through managing User Access and Roles. The Central Office ITS Section manages user access based on FDOT District and Regional Partner authorization.

Roles:


User Roles control the User's ability to View, Add, Modify, and Delete data within the ITSFM system. The system supports three User Roles; Editor, Maintainer and Viewer:

Editor:
This User has full rights to add, modify and delete data. Editors have the ability to add or modify fiber connectivity and any errors introduced would result in serious problems for the system. Therefore the Users assigned this role are limited in number and only assigned to the most experienced Users.

Maintainer:
This User has limited rights to edit information existing in the database. This role is assigned to Users such as a Maintenance Technician who need the ability to updated attributes resulting from equipment replacements but do not need full Editor Rights. This User cannot place new features, or delete existing features; they can only edit attributes for the existing feature. This User is not allowed to make any changes that effect fiber connectivity.

Viewer:
This User can view data, perform locates, spatial queries and run reports, but cannot add, modify or delete features or data. This role is assigned to Users who only need the ability view information and generate reports.


Users are assigned a single User Role per Serving Area they are authorized to access. (Serving Area is defined as the outer limits for the geographic area covered by a single Control Center). A User can be assigned the same or different User Roles for each Serving Area they are authorized to access.

Access:


User Access controls the User's ability to access a Serving Area and the User's ability to:

  • Access facilities owned by an agency within one or more serving areas
  • Access facilities used by the agency but owned by another agency such as bartered fibers

The ITSFM allows Users assigned Editor and Maintainer roles to choose at login the appropriate User Role (Editor, Maintainer or Viewer) needed during any session. For example, if the user has Editor Privileges associated to one of their Serving Areas and selects Editor Role at login; they will only see data for Serving Areas where they have Editor Privileges. If the user selects Viewer role, they will be able to see all Servicing Areas they are authorized to access.
