Admin vs User Access

Understanding Admin vs User Access

Band24 allows teams to collaborate within the Ranger dashboard by inviting multiple users to the same workspace. Each user is assigned a role that determines what actions they can perform within the platform.

Understanding the difference between Admin and User access helps ensure the right team members have the appropriate level of control over assets, devices, and account settings.
​



Admin Access

Admins have full access to manage the Ranger workspace and its associated assets.

Admins can perform actions such as:

  • Inviting and managing team members

  • Assigning or modifying user roles

  • Creating and managing assets and groups

  • Configuring alerts and SmartSites

  • Replacing or deactivating devices

  • Managing account settings and operational workflows

Because Admins have broad control over the workspace, this role is typically assigned to team leads, administrators, or operations managers responsible for managing the Band24 deployment.
​


User Access

Users have access to view and interact with assets within the Ranger dashboard but have more limited administrative permissions. They may be permitted to only see a certain group of assets depending on the permissions given to them by the owner or admins.

Users can typically:

  • View asset locations and device activity

  • Access asset details and activity history

  • Use Map View and List View to monitor assets

  • Receive alerts related to tracked devices

User roles are ideal for team members who need visibility into asset activity but do not need to manage account settings or user permissions.
​


Managing Team Access

Team members and their access levels can be managed from the My Team section located on the bottom left of the Ranger dashboard.

From there, Admins can:

  • Invite new users to the workspace

  • Assign Admin or User roles

  • Modify permissions for existing team members

  • Remove users who no longer require access

Step-by-step instructions for these actions are covered in the Invite & Manage Team Members guideflows included in this section.
