Permissions to access users, integrators, asset groups, place groups, and driver groups can be effectively managed through the Teams module.

A resource group (asset group, driver group, and place group) can be linked with teams. Only users and integrators can be assigned directly to teams. Resources such as assets, places, and drivers cannot be linked with teams directly.

NOTE:
  • A team can be described as a user group.
  • When a resource group is linked with a team, resources such as assets, drivers, and places are in
  • A resource group can be assigned to multiple teams.
  • Access to a parent group also provides access to its child groups. For example, when a resource group is linked with a team, access to all the resources of the group is assigned to users of the team. The access to all the resources of the subgroup is also assigned to users of the team.

In an organization, groups are structured in such a way so as to follow all the resources. An administrator can group assets, places, and drivers to organize the resources within SCALAR.

NOTE:
  • Max. 250 teams can be created in an organization
  • Max. 25 teams can be assigned to a user
  • Max. 100 groups and subgroups can be assigned to a team
  • Max. 5000 resources can be assigned to a resource group (including subgroups)

Teams for integrators
Assets can be leased to multiple clients, which introduces the potential risk of exposing sensitive information to unauthorized users while sharing data across these clients.  The Teams for Integrators feature provides a granular level of data access, ensuring that integrators can only access information related to resource groups assigned to their respective teams. This approach maintains confidentiality and prevents inadvertent data breaches. By restricting integrators to access only data relevant to their assigned groups, this feature ensures data privacy and strengthens security.

After assigning users, integrators, asset groups, driver groups, and place groups to the team, the total number of resources assigned to the team are displayed in the Assigned section on the Team information page.

NOTE:

Max. 5000 resources can be assigned to any resource group or subgroup. A user can follow a maximum of 25 teams x 100 groups x 5000 of each resource type (assets, places, drivers).
