About User Management

Under the User section of the RiskBand ARIES Manager navigation pane, the following icons are displayed:

    Users—A user is any user of the system, including system administrators, organization users, and organization administrators.

    Organization Permissions—An organization permission is a permission granted to an organization user.

    Action Messages—An action message can be sent to any user assigned to a device. The action message will be displayed on the device. There are different types of action messages, and the different types are sent with different urgency levels, and devices respond to different action message types differently. For example, emergency action messages are sent with the highest urgency and cost to the device, and the device will display the action message as an emergency notification.

    Closed Emergencies—An emergency can be triggered by any user assigned to a device. The user triggers the emergency on the device. The emergency remains active until it is canceled by the user on the device (self cancellation), closed by a system or organization administrator with access to do so, or closed by an authorized third-party emergency responder, such as GEOS or an organization-internal department that handles triggered emergencies.

If you are a system administrator, the following additional icons are displayed.

    System Admin Permissions—An administrator permission is assigned to system administrators (users not associated with any organization).

    Active Emergencies
