This guide outlines the user settings within AASHTOWare Safety for admin users to manage accounts, including new user invitations, roles and permissions, lockouts, and other user management tasks.

Inviting New Users

To invite a new user, click the “+ Invite New User” button at the far right of the screen.

Input the email address(es) of the user(s) who need access. Choose an existing role or custom role.

User Roles

The following Existing Roles have been configured for West Virginia:

Users must meet the following requirements for their password:

  • Must be 9 to 100 characters

  • Contain BOTH uppercase and lowercase letters

  • Contain at least 1 number

  • Contain at least 1 special character (! @ # $ % & etc.)
