Add or Edit IRIS FasTrak Login Details
The Login section of FasTrak Admin is used to create, edit and delete login accounts for staff as well as for other programs that need to connect to IRIS FasTrak.
Only an Administration user can create logins. Other user types may not create any logins, and cannot see the Login section.
Creating a login
To create a new login, go to the Login section and select Add User from the toolbar. The following window will appear:
Login options
Login Name — Enter a username to be used for the login. This is an alphanumeric field of up to 20 characters.
Password — Enter a password to be used for the login. This is an alphanumeric field of between 6 and 20 characters. Type the same password in the Confirm Password box.
Comment — Enter an optional comment. This field is usually used for a description of the login's intended purpose. This field may contain up to 256 characters.
User Type — The available user roles include Administration, Report User, Client User, Machine, and Gateway. View Login Types, for more information.
Security PIN — This option is only enabled for Client User logins, and is used instead of a password for this user type. This field may contain between 4 and 6 numerical characters.
Staff Account — You can associate a login with a staff account. The staff member must be in before you can select them. This is required if you want staff members to log in to FasTrak Client using biometric/card authentication.
Report Login Options
When you create a report user, a list of viewable reports appears. You can configure which reports the user can see from here. There are also options for report logins which include permissions for viewing & editing or just viewing the People section.
Client Login Options
When you create a client user, a list of client options appears. You can configure which options are available to this user, such as pre-order and till access, user registration, and the ability to exit the client. By enabling the biometric login option, the user can log in to the client software using a finger scanner (staff account association required).
If you create a client user with only Exit Application enabled from the list of options, FasTrak Client will immediately exit when that user's security PIN is entered.
Editing a login
To edit a login, select Edit User from the toolbar. You can edit all options as needed.
If you edit login names/passwords for logins in use at another location, remember to enter the new details in the relevant program.
Deleting a login
To delete a login, select it from the login list and then select Delete User from the toolbar. You will be prompted to confirm that you want to delete the login.
If you only have one Administration login, you will not be able to delete it. This is to avoid locking yourself out of FasTrak Admin.
Only delete logins that are not in use, or that you have replacement logins for. If in doubt, do not delete the login; multiple logins can be created for each role.
