Profile Upgrades
SmartPTT provides significant upgrades of its Profiles system. The upgrade include:
Please find their descriptions below.
Profile Select§
SmartPTT introduces the ability to select a profile for Dispatcher App users and Web Console operators. Similar functionality was available in SmartPTT 9.5 and earlier. However, the current implementation is more obvious, secure, and flexible.
The functionality opens following opportunities:
- Users select a proper set of resources and capabilities for their current situation. They do not waste their time to mute unnecessary resources and filter out unnecessary log entries.
- SmartPTT Admins save their time on profile change for users. Now, users themselves decide what and where to use.
- Business saves the time on the time operator need to begin the work in the target location.
The functionality is unavailable for the following user types:
- Mobile App users (use Personalities instead).
- API Applications.
Automatic Profile Assignment§
If Windows users and groups are used, SmartPTT allows you to link a profile to a user group. This might be an additional user group, not the one related to a user role. If you add SmartPTT user to that group, corresponding profile will become automatically available to it.
The functionality opens following opportunities:
- SmartPTT Admins do not spend any more time on adding new users. They only inform account managers to which group users must be added.
- Business saves a great amount of time for their SmartPTT Admins and prevents user passwords being exposed to them.
All Operator Rights in Profiles§
SmartPTT introduces a copy of all Operator Rights (permissions configured on per-user basis in individual Dispatcher Apps) in Profiles. All those permissions are grouped under the dedicated node, for easier recognition. And, as always, the functionality is supported on per-server basis (when possible).
The functionality opens following opportunities:
- SmartPTT Admins can manage all the possible user permissions from one place. There is no need to access Dispatcher App remotely or in person. Also, they can manage conflicts between Operator Rights and Profiles by enabling/disabling priority of profile permissions.
- Business saves admin’s time on performing their duties.
Permissions are not yet applicable in Web Console.
