Advanced - Assign Person in Charge

Assign a responsible Operator to each Section Control segment. This helps identify who is authorized to manage and modify the segment.

Assign Person in Charge Console

Overview​

This feature allows you to assign an Operator (a role with limited permissions) to be responsible for a specific segment. Operators have permission to modify only the segments assigned to them.

What This Feature Does​

  • Assign a specific Operator to manage a segment
  • Restrict segment modification to the assigned Operator
  • Track who is responsible for each segment
  • Default: No assignment (segment remains unassigned)

Configuration​

Default Behavior​

Do Not Assign Person in Charge (default):

  • No Operator is assigned
  • No segment-specific restrictions apply

Assign Person in Charge:

  • Assign an Operator to manage the segment
  • Only assigned Operator can modify the segment
  • Responsibility is clearly defined

Configuration Steps​

  1. Navigate to your segment's settings (creation or edit mode)
  2. Go to Advanced Settings section
  3. Choose assignment option:
    • Do Not Assign Person in Charge: Leave unassigned (default)
    • Assign Person in Charge: Assign an Operator
  4. If assigning: Type the Operator's user name (user ID search is not supported)
  5. Select from list: Matching Operators with the corresponding role are displayed
  6. Multiple assignments: You can assign multiple Operators to one segment
  7. Save Configuration: Apply your settings

How the Assignment Works​

Finding an Operator:

  1. Type the Operator's user name in the search field (user ID search is not supported)
  2. As you type, matching user names with Operator role appear in a dropdown list
  3. Select the desired Operator(s) from the list
  4. You can select multiple Operators for one segment

Operator Requirements:

  • Must have Operator role granted by Admin
  • Operator role provides limited permissions
  • Only assigned Operators can modify their segments

Understanding Operator Role​

Operators have very limited permissions and can only modify segments assigned to them. This provides controlled access while maintaining security.

Role Hierarchy:

  • Admin: Grants Operator role and assigns Operators to segments
  • Operator: Can only modify segments assigned to them

Best Practices​

When to Assign​

Assign an Operator when:

  • You want specific team members to manage specific segments
  • You need controlled access to segments
  • Compliance requires documented responsibility

Keep unassigned when:

  • Segment doesn't need specific ownership
  • Multiple people need access
  • Temporary or test segments

Managing Assignments​

  • Regular review: Check who is assigned to each segment
  • Update assignments: Change as team structure evolves
  • Document purpose: Keep track of why each Operator was assigned

FAQ​

Can I change the assignment after creation?​

Yes. You can change the Person in Charge assignment at any time by editing the segment settings.

What happens if an Operator is removed?​

If an Operator is removed from the project, the assignment becomes empty and the segment returns to unassigned state.

Can multiple Operators be assigned?​

Yes. You can assign multiple Operators to one segment. All assigned Operators can modify the segment.

What if I don't assign anyone?​

The segment remains unassigned. The default behavior (Do Not Assign) applies.
