Sub User Management#

Sub Users are managed under User > Accounts > Sub Users tab. They provide vehicle-scoped access under a parent user account.

Sub User CRUD#

FieldRequiredDescription
Full NameYesSub user display name
EmailYesLogin email address
UsernameYesUnique login username
PasswordYesAccount password

Vehicle Access#

  • Assign vehicles — select multiple vehicles from the parent user's fleet
  • Unassign vehicles — remove vehicle access from the sub user
  • Sub users can only see vehicles explicitly assigned to them
  • Changes take effect immediately upon save

Sub User Detail#

  • Profile tab — view and edit sub user profile information
  • Danger Zone — delete sub user account (confirmation required)

Data Isolation#

OpenVTS enforces strict data isolation between organizations. Each Admin can only see their own organization's data. Users within an organization see only vehicles assigned to them. Sub Users see only explicitly assigned vehicles. Team members see vehicles shared within their team scope.

Vehicle Visibility Rules#

RoleVisible VehiclesRule
SuperadminAll vehicles across all organizationsPlatform-wide access
AdminAll vehicles in their organizationOrganization-scoped
UserVehicles assigned as primary userUser-scoped assignment
DriverOwn assigned vehicle onlySingle vehicle binding
Sub UserExplicitly assigned vehicles onlyParent user assigns access
TeamVehicles shared within the teamTeam-scoped sharing
Tip
Data isolation is enforced at the API level. Even if a client attempts to access resources outside their scope, the backend will reject the request with a 403 Forbidden response.
