This guide outlines the user settings within NJDOT’s AASHTOWare Safety instance for admin users to manage accounts, security settings, and roles and permissions.

Find additional information for organization administrators on our Help Center.


Settings

Sign into your state’s instance of the software.

Click “Crash Query” in the top left corner to open the application menu. Navigate to “Settings” from within this menu.

Settings - Users

Under “Organization” in the left menu, select “Users.”

Users Tab

Admins can manage users in the “User Tab,” including:

  • Lock/unlock accounts

  • Set Future Lockout date

  • Edit Roles & Permissions

  • Remove Users

Inviting New Users

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

Input the email address(es) of the user(s) who need access. Choose an existing role or custom role. If a user has already been invited or signed up for an account, trying to add that user again will cause the invite to fail.

Existing User Roles

Existing User Roles can be created by admins to group multiple users under one standard set of permissions. The following Existing Roles have been configured for New Jersey DOT. These can be edited at any time by an admin user.

Custom Role

If user accounts are set up with a custom role, admins must customize the permissions and choose which applications the new user will and won’t have access to.

Default Filter

The Default Filter option allows admins to filter the data accessible to a user’s account in Crash Query. This can be done for users in a custom role or an existing role. A user with default filters added to their account will not see these filters in the filter bar; instead, the only data they can see will meet the default filter criteria. This functionality is not supported in applications outside Crash Query; users with a Default Filter added to their account should not have access to applications other than Crash Query.

(The Default Filter option under new user permissions; this functionality is also available under custom User Roles)

Password Requirements

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.)

Data Management

Here, admins can set the level of access a user has to data management.

Typically, for standard users, admins should not grant edit access to this section.


Features

Here, admins can toggle on/off certain features within the application.

Typically, for standard users, admins should ignore this menu when creating new users. If you need help, contact a member of the Numetric support team.


Set Future Lock Out

Admins can set a future lockout date for users, either when initially inviting a new user or later in the “User Tab” for existing users.

The “Set Future Lock Out” option is at the bottom of the Role & Permissions fly-out menu.

NOTE: Invite requests expire after 14 days and can be resent within the “Invitations” tab under User Settings.


Roles Tab

Admins can manage existing roles in the “Roles” tab, including:

  • Creating a new role

  • Editing an existing role

  • Adding a user to a different role

  • Viewing the number of current users/invited users within each role

Invitations Tab

Admins can manage existing user invitations in the “Invitations” tab, including:

  • Viewing the pending invitations

  • Resending an expired invitation

Admin Quick Reference - Common User Issues:
