Users, fleets, reports, and permissions.

How do I create a new user?

We recommend that you first create one or more fleets for the organization.

Here’s how to add a user:

  • Go to Settings (the gear icon at the bottom left).

  • Click on Users.

  • Select Add new at the top right.

  • Fill in the user’s details:

    • First and last name

    • Email address (unique – used as the username)

    • Mobile number (for password recovery)

    • RFID serial number (optional)

  • Link the user to one or more fleets.

  • Assign permissions according to role.

  • Save.

If the user should receive an automatic monthly report, check Monthly logbook.

What user roles are available?

Automile supports multiple roles with different access levels.

Common roles:

Driver

  • Sees and manages their own trips.

Pool car driver / Technician

  • Can check in to vehicles in a fleet.

  • Sees and edits only their own trips.

Administrator

  • Full control over vehicles, fleets, and users.

  • Can change permissions and settings.

Approver

  • Reviews and approves business trips.

  • Manages the approval flow.

How does access control work?

Permissions can be managed at several levels:

  • Organization

  • Fleet

  • Vehicle

  • User

The system is based on the principle that each user should only have access to the information relevant to their role.

Examples of common rights

View trip – See all trips on vehicles you have access to.
Edit trips – Change category, add notes, merge trips.
View vehicles – See vehicles in a fleet.
Edit vehicles – Change settings, registration number, trip type.
Change odometer reading – Adjust odometer reading without full vehicle administration.
Create driver – Add new users.
Edit driver – Change account information.
View driver – See other users in the same fleet.
View fleet – Required to generate certain reports.
View live map – Access to the live map.

Rights can be combined to create customized roles.

How do I create a fleet?

Fleets are used to group vehicles and users.

Here's how:
