Operators
Operators represent both:
- Users of the RALS™ SYSTEM
- Users of devices connected to the RALS™ SYSTEM
Operators are used to manage access to the RALS™ SYSTEM and track actions within the RALS™ SYSTEM. In order for a user to log in and access the RALS™ SYSTEM, they must have an active operator account.
Operators are also used to manage access to devices connected to the RALS™ SYSTEM. They allow users to identify who performed results and to record competencies.
