This topic provides an overview of the steps required to help user administrators set up and manage users.
Admin Application
Our Support team provides user administration rights. To access the admin application:
- From the applications menu, select More -> Administration.
- Click the Users tab.
Roles and Groups
To aid more efficient workload, management roles are assigned to users. Users can be organized into groups. The privileges assigned to users go according to role. Users can receive one or more roles. Groups enable users with assigned roles to work as a cohesive unit.

Custom Roles
Custom roles are assigned to dedicated devices. Your group may have one or more customer roles and you can assign specific devices to specific users. To set up customer roles please contact support.
Groups
Group members can collaborate, share media and scripts which are stored in their own private group repository.
Group Repository
When a new group is added, a repository is automatically created for that group.
Group Organization
Each role in an organization requires a user administrator. The administrator is assigned all the roles that the group requires. The role of the group administrator includes:
- Managing, creating, and deleting group members
- Assigning roles to group members - ie: device administration, reservations, reports, etc...
Adding and editing groups is the exclusive responsibility of Perfecto Mobile Support or Company Administrator.
