In the case where a user is in a user group that is restricted to certain locations, there will be limitations for setup and transactional entity information that the user can access in the following modules and functions:
System Entities: Location Based Security applies to just two of the links in the navigation pad for this module. For restricted users, the List of Locations will only present locations that appear on the list of authorized locations for the applicable user group while the List of Location Throughput Groups will only list Location Throughput Groups that are associated with one of the User Group’s Authorized Locations.
Shipping Locations: Location Based Security applies to only link in the navigation pad for this module. For restricted users, the List of Locations will only present locations that appear on the list of authorized locations for the applicable user group.
Load Build: The transactions available via the main Navigation Pad links (Loads, Shipment Leg, etc.) will be filtered according to the following rule: each load/ shipment leg must refer at least one 'authorized' location.
Load Processing: Location Based Security only applies to the 'List of Stops' and ‘List of Shipping Legs’ links in the Navigation Pad. This type of security will have no impact on the other five links: List of Loads, List of Trips, Assigned Resources, Tractor Utilization and Loads - Rating View.
Shipment Processing: Location Based Security applies to only link in the navigation pad for this module. For restricted users, the List of Shipments will be filtered to ensure that either the shipment’s origin or destination location is an authorized location for the user.
Shipment Confirmation: Location Based Security only applies to the ‘List of Shipments’ link in the Navigation Pad. This type of security will not be enforced for the other link on the Navigation Pad in this module: List of Shipment Legs.
Dock Scheduling: Location Based Security applies to both of the links in the navigation pad. For restricted users, the List of Locations with Docks will only present locations that appear on the list of authorized locations for the applicable user group while the List of Dock Commitments will only select dock commitments where the shipping location for the dock is on the list of authorized locations.
Note: A user with location restrictions should never be authorized to:
Any module in Transportation Manager, other than System Entities, Shipping Locations, Load Build, Load Processing, Shipment Processing, Shipment Confirmation or Dock Scheduling.
Any function other than Shipping Locations or Location Throughput Groups in the System Entities module.
Load Processing/List of Loads, Load Processing/List of Trips, Load Processing/Assigned Resources, Load Processing/Tractor Utilization or Load Processing/Loads - Rating View functions.
