Transportation User Roles
TheWorxHub gives you the ability to create customized user roles with various sets of permissions. This page outlines user roles found in a typical transportation department along with our recommended set of permissions for each role.
Drivers
Any user added to TheWorxHub can serve as a driver for trips with the appropriate permission assigned to their user role. We recommend creating a "Driver" user role to identify your staff that can be assigned as a trip driver.
