Onboarding
Welcome to TrafficDash! This onboarding guide helps you get started quickly based on your role in the system.
Roles in TrafficDash
Section titled “Roles in TrafficDash”TrafficDash has three different account types, each with its own responsibilities and access rights:
Administrator (Admin)
Section titled “Administrator (Admin)”Administrators have full access to all system functionality. They manage users, projects, and upload datasets.
Key responsibilities:
- User management (create, edit, delete)
- Project management at system level
- Upload configuration
- Access to all modules and projects

Lead user
Section titled “Lead user”Lead users have access to most functionality and can manage projects, but do not have access to user management.
Key responsibilities:
- Project management at system level
- Create projects
- Use project configuration for their own projects and projects where they are set as project owner
- No user management
Users have access to project functionality but cannot change configurations. They use templates created by project owners.
Key responsibilities:
- Run evaluations with existing templates
- View monitor dashboards
- Analyse and visualise data
- No configuration permissions
Project owner
Section titled “Project owner”In addition to the account types, any user (regardless of their account type) can be assigned as project owner of a project. This is not a separate account type, but an assigned responsibility.
Key responsibilities as project owner:
- Manage project configuration, including:
- Project members
- Periods
- Objects
- Monitor and evaluation templates
Important: A user with any account type (administrator, lead user, or user) can be project owner of one or more projects. A project owner can also be a member of other projects of which they are not the owner.
